I haven't played the game much and have yet to start a career. But after reading this thread I'm afraid to!

same dealy here. i thought rough weather would possibly be a cause for watchmen injuries because it was really rough but then people from shifts that were off were getting injured. so i was running submerged alot but they still got hurt. and...you know how they have a 0-100 scale for damages...some how my 'damage control' turns orange like when your guns are down and has a repair time. wth? are their tools getting rusty i dont get it.

also..i just loaded my save game and when i got it it said taking damage captain but i didnt see any. so i just reloaded it and it didnt say taking damage this time.

USS Guardfish to COMSUBPAC: Main gun and flak gun damaged by aircraft STOP All three gunners wounded STOP Cannot repair armament STOP Two days later sink two ships for 12000tns STOP Believe lifeboats must trigger some kind of bug STOP After ships sunk and lifeboats appeared started taking damage in the bow of Guardfish STOP Virus spreading among crew STOP Wounded appearing at random STOP Discontinue patrol and career due to frustration END

How long are the repair times in SHIV compared to (unmodded) SHIII? I remember in SHIII every damaged system and flooding could be fixed in few minutes (less than an hour all the time). Are the repair times increased in SHIV?

I don't have the game yet and just want to know about it as it is an important point for me wether to buy SHIV or not.
