Taking damage for no reason

[kakemann]

Hi!

I'm trying to understand why my sub sometimes takes damage while attacking convoys or task forces. I've experienced it a couple of times now.

One of my experiences:

I saved a game before attacking a task force. I was lying at all stop,perscopedepth waiting for the fuso battlehip to pass. I had a Porpoise sub. When i got a nice fireangle i fired 4 torpedoes at it, and 2 aft against a nearby destroyer. I hit the battleship 3 times and the destroyer with both torpedoes. went to 40 metres.still all stop.

A nearby destroyer started moving towards me, but was far away. after a minute or so the sub suddenly started to take damage. the destroyer was as i said far away.
I got serios damage and sank to the bottom.

As I said, I saved just before so I loaded the game again. This time I did the exact same thing. But I went to free cam view to see that none of my torpedoes hit me. Right after I hit the ships the exact thing happened again. I suffered damage and sank.

Anyone experienced this?
Is it a possible fix?
Thanks anyway!

I experience some similar behaviour but after a severe bulkhead damage, even when it is showed as reapired.

I will give more atention to Porposise sub now... if i can see some interesting i will commnt here. I had used the Porpoise too much.

I experience this phenom today!!! I was damage a little by aircraft. Bulkhead minor damage. I got under the convoy at 250 feet. This might have been my demise. How deep are you when this happens?

[kakemann]

I'm using metric system.. 40 metres. Thats 131 feet. Not very deep.

Could it be the porpoise sub which causes this abnormal behavior?
I'll try a clean install of the game now without any mods. I'll try to load from the same place again. Kept my savegames before uninstalling.

I was running the increased crushdepths mod and realistic batterylife mod.

Will try without any mods

Will post again soon

Are you guys running any mods?

[AVGWarhawk]

I think I'm running the Salmon class. Only mods are the green light mod, reduced radio traffic and the texture mod for the depth/speed/heading guage.

I experienced that several times also, I'd saved before attacking a convoy of warships near the Japanese coast. There was nothing anywhere near me, the only thing I could figure out was I must have dived into a mine field, but I didn't know if there were mines in this game, and I didn't hear any explosions either. None of it really made sense, it sank me each time I dove, but as long as I didn't dive deeper than periscope level I was fine.

I just had that odd conning tower re-damage thing, I noticed that after trying to dive to PD the conning tower was magically repaired once the dive was initiated. Then once under water all hell broke loose and the conning tower went to crap injuring deck crew also. Basically dont dive after any hull damage!

I have taken damage for no reason as well, several times. I have learned to save early and save often. The last one was I just dropped off an operative, and was heading out to sea, and on the surface. I got the message we are taking damage sir, nothing on the radar, nothing in sight, and no visible explosions, I was on the bridge looking around. My only explanation was maybe mines, but there was no explosions. I was not sinking, although every system was red, I did not stick around I just reloaded, and went out the same way, and no issues.
