Collisions still an issue

I just did a test. I used the borneo convoy mission. Sub is a gato. I surfaced and let the akizuki and mutsuki take pot shots til I had internal damage, and some gaping holes. I went to PD, and let both of them ram me a few times.

My sub didn't repair from it, but it also took no damage. The DDs didn't explode, either.

Under what conditions are you seeing this?

After a while, with quite a bit more DC damage from each ramming pass, I surfaced and duked it out with the 40mm gun forward. They sank me (both DDs and several of the merchants hitting me at the same time MANY MANY times). IN the time it took to sink my sub I killed the Akizuki with the AA gun, and had the mutsuki furiously burning.

I think I need to mod all the ship's deck guns up rather a lot. You'd think my sub that was already solid red in the forward torpedo room, had the main pump and con mostly completely destroyed, and virtually every other system already damaged at some level would have sank after the first 10 or 15 five inch shells hit, plus countless AAA rounds. I mean I was hit5-10 times before I was fully surfaced, the boat was swiss cheese based on the damage templates applied.
