Can the crew actually die?

nice question...

indeed. i guees: no...and if so..the crew "plops away" if she dies, like the new torps simply "plop in"...

I hope I'm wrong but; I got a hunch they don't die.

Because can you have your navigation officer, change in for your watch officer or torpedo officer?? All these positions seem to have personnel who are permanently assigned. (All the cheesy story & rpg elements that go with them)

Perhaps the model/looks/background story might be modded in, but barring the mods, the game is designed as it is and how would they make it work if the cook dies (in a flooding situation) or the watch officer is shot? Then do they get replaced back at port?

No previews mention anything about recruiting new personnel at port or anything like that, so this is one of those unknowns but likely a negative feature of the game..

No, he means in the animation the torps go into the tubes and then disappear. There's a lot wrong with this game, but this just sounds like a typical animation bug, really, and hopefully can be modded/fixed.

I hope so. But if it doesn't, Diving Duck will fix it (except of course the rising flood waters will probably not care, so that will have to be fixed too).

Would be quite sensless as the boat wasn't really usable if one of the three sections was flooded. And with usable I mean just sailing to the next harbour.

the boats were only divided into three watertight compartments, Aft, COmmand Room and Fore. so the command room could hold survivors until rescued...
