Getting out of harm's way in time..

stork100; I wasn't aware of that 1943 order.. it's a wonder the crew had any morale left at all by then.

Aktungbby; thanks for the heads-up. The only downside, unfortunately, is that, without anyplace to go anymore to avoid air attacks, I'd have to run decks awash everywhere I went.

And indeed you wouldn't go anywhere. Decks Awash is great for attacking convoys in calm water, but your travel speed would be considerably reduced and fuel usage would go through the roof.

Sometimes the crew is tired and not all are transfered to the electric motor room. Officer dereliction of duty I call it. But what can you do about it. Make sure they are moved and the electric engine kicks in.

If your intent is to crash dive, it should immediately order a flank bell - the momentum caused by this should allow you to continue with a hard turn while waiting for the electric motors.
