Crew Repairs

Elphaba hit the nail on the head in regard to context - context is everything and the crew repairs would work best during depth charge attacks while the control room is slowly filling with water.

Not only are players rushing to gain control of the boat, but they're under a time limit to stop the boat from sinking further.

Personally for me, the best part in Das Boot is after the destroyer attacks them on the surface in Gibraltar. All hope is lost, damage is tremendous, the crew is fatigued and exhausted, the boot is sinking....but they managed to fix up the crippled boat just barely enough to get it to raise off the seafloor.

Imagine how cool it would be? The central room is almost flooded....players are swimming around and having to use breathing aparatus to dive under the water to fix whatever repair/leak/etc.

Then, using buckets they have to work as a team to dump the water into the bilges and blow the excess weight out that way just like in the movie. Or maybe (even more compartments are planned to be modeled), they'd have to close the hatches to stop water from rushing in...potentially trapping a fellow teammate inside!

Talk about tense!
