Cap, you're asking for a god mode. Real captains sure didn't know the extent of damage to their subs. There were no gauges in the control room showing percentage of damage to the boat as a whole or to each compartment.

A single hole in the pressure hull was fatal. No repairs were possible at sea and no submerging would take place after that unless you weren't interested in surfacing ever again. There was no "welding a plate over the hole."

I suggest you research the incident involving USS Bergall on December 13, 1944.

There is a lot going on here at Subsim that someone new to the scene might not appreciate, like a dedicated group of modders and players with over two years' experience who have researched what is and what is not realistic to a degree that you can't begin to comprehend.

I suggest you transition into learning mode and begin asking questions rather than making what you will understand later are impudent demands. When you see something that doesn't seem right, begin by asking why instead of demanding why not.

And people will respect you if you first show some respect for them.
