Encountering ships with pre-existing damage.

yep, the AI is really spastic acting when its an all out alert to all merchant ships and some ships will zig-zag while others go into long s-turns and some just circle back doing a 360 on their own course so whenever there is a scramble of convoy ships they always seam to have a collision.

warships seam to have less problems scrambling as a group and its only the DD and light cruisers that run into or get run over other ships


also as was pointed out by someone the game does record "some" damage to ships from heavy storms if the water gets high enough over the decks. in most cases this is a side affect of using a mod like Op Monsun that adds a lot of ships to the game without properly correcting draft heights and such for them.
