Damage repair teams. How do they work?

CaptJodan · 03-23-07, 02:51 PM

I did have the flak guns damage themselves randomly (I think this is actually a feature, if I read the manual right) and went to repair them. Put some people in the DC slot, put the AA guns in the repair box, turned the repair guys on, but it said 2 minutes till repair all the way home.

Wasn't a big deal given that the damage was light and the guns still worked, but not sure what is going on or what I'm doing wrong. :hmm:

Still getting the hang of all the new and different stuff.

I had mine damaged by a bomb, along with my deck gun. Did exactly the same, said 15minutes to repair (damage was at 5%) and 20minutes for the Deck gun to repair.

about 72hours later, the AA gun was done (long after I removed the DC crew) and the Deck gun was still busted :hmm:

Well in that last mission I eventually went back to port with it still damaged. No biggy.

But now I've got a real problem!

200 or so miles south of Tokyo, I was ambushed by 2 aircraft. Bombs hit as I was diving. I was able to down one of the aircraft on the way down, but then I was on the way down. Flooding was critical (or so they told me, I have no idea where the flooding stuff is) and my engineroom was damaged, both types.

I was sinking so I had no real choice but to blow ballast. I was lucky. The second plane didn't come back. I had the repair guys repair the bulkhead and the engines. Now all that's left is the flak gun and the deck gun (those things never want to repair). According to the damage station, the engines are repaired, yet they aren't starting. Some of my crew are yellowed out, but under their health they say like 93 or 95 percent.

In effect, I don't know why I'm not moving. To make matters worse, it seems the back of the sub is slowly settling in the downward position, and I don't know why I'm flooding or how to fix it.

So I guess my question is...

1. How do I get the engines going again?

2. How do I stop the flooding? How do I even tell that I'm flooding other than their reports?
