This was scary!

Can't say I've ever had anything like that happen to me, but I have had something similar (although I didn't think to make a cool video of it :p ).

I'd gotten ash-canned from Hell and, although my hull integrity never suffered, I'd had every compartment flooding to some degree. I'd shot down, heading to 160 meters, before I got nailed, and it took ages to stop all the flooding. And all the while I had DDs circling around overhead, dropping more depth charges while I was noisily doing repairs and pumping out water.

At some point I lost the DDs. By then I was at 230 meters and steadily, albeit slowly, sinking further and further. Both dive planes were destroyed, and so was my compressor (so I had no compressed air to blow tanks). My electric engines were damaged; I could only get them at 2 knot max speed.

So there I was, with a 100% hull integrity, all compartments repaired and pumped dry . . . and dive planes stuck in a descent position, with no compressed air to blow the tanks. I set the engines at back emergency, but all that did was slow the inevitable.

It took around 30 minutes, but eventually I started hearing the dreaded breaking-glass sound as my hull started collapsing.

99% . . . 98% . . . 97% . . .

95% . . . 93% . . . 91% . . .

88% . . . 84% . . . 80% . . .

Yep . . . starts off slow, but once it starts . . .
