Also I put my damage control crew in hogans alley unless I need them.Have not jumped to 2.1 yet so I guess that will be different.

As others are saying I can not turn on/off the damage control team while in SR. Sooner or later someone who knows the answer to this here topic will post a reply....What was his name again?...............

I put them at battlestations, go to silent running. It's easier if we take damage to go off silent running that way, and have the crew fixing stuff especially if there's more than 2 escorts working us over.

Since I mainly use TMO, the boats can go deeper than their redline marks for test depth, so I usually try to take the boat as deep as possible. Had a Balao down over 700ft more than once. So I rarely worry about battle damage.

Thing is, try to knock out the immediate escorts, either convoy, or task force, and then let the other ships have it.
