I had a Maya heavy cruiser capsize and pin me to the bottom of Java Sea once....didnt kill me either, just severely damaged my boat.Someone really should create an "abandon ship" mod...where if in conditions where abandoning ship is possible, you can.If within so many miles of enemy force or land, you are a POW, if in area where rescue by friendlies is remotely possible, you get rescued or its 50/50, luck of the draw....anyone agree?

Legendary WW1 ace Lothar von Arnauld de la Periere reported torpedoing a merchant in one of his last actions, and trying to slip away under it. The ship sank at that moment, pinning the u-boat and taking it down. He said it was only luck that they broke free and lived to tell the story.

Tried to slip under a CV once, it was listing heavily to port from three of my torpedos and as soon as I got under her she capsized and pinned me under the flight deck.

I made the mistake of trying to slip away under a sinking freighter once
