Default Help...?

So here I am, sitting on the bottom of grid AM97, about 70 meters under water, just recovered from severe flooding, anything possible is repaired.


Problem:
Destroyer is circling above

Problem:
Both electric engines are KIA.

Only thing you could've done was to constantly keep changing depths, though (assuming you're in deep water) without any kind of forward or backwards momentum it can take minutes to just go up or down 10 meters. Normally you'd bottom the boat, though in this game the enemy can still pinpoint you and dc you to death sitting dead silent on the bottom. One thing I'd really hoped they would fix with SH5 (from what I hear its unchanged, just another grudge to put on the pile on why to avoid that version).
