Damage out of nowhere.

Hi,

I was on my first patrol using the latest version of TM. I was submerging for the day west of Formosa, with no enemies in sight, when all of a sudden, I started getting damage to the deck gun and flak gun. The crew started talking with excited voices as they would under attack I suppose. Trouble is they kept it up for the rest of the patrol. Is this a new or old bug?? Is it a stock bug or a TM bug??

Possible if you were at periscope depth that there were planes flying over you that could see you underwater and were dropping DC's on you.

LeafsFan,

It is not a bug. It is because Ducimus gave the planes better sighting AI in TM. I have had this happen numerous times, until I finally figured it out. The cure is to dive deeper, I usually go down to about 120', during the day when in enemy territory.

What's kind of funny is if you get depth charge damage to your guns while under water, even at 350 feet, your gun crew gets injured as if they were still at station on the surface. That doesn't make sense to me! It's not like they're still sitting at their gun stations while underwater .. lol.
