Stay clear from sinking ships in GWX

It was like the 4th of July. I lost 2 crew members on the watch tower, lost both periscopes and antenna, lost the radio room, and pretty well every compartment was flooding with hull damage at 81%. I must be out of my mind, but I LOVED IT! I can just imagine what would have happened if I was next to a large tanker.

Yesterday I lost 3 crew members from a falling funnel of a sinking ship blown to pieces. The boat also got damage, but not so serious as yours. Now I consider ending my career if I find that in such circumstances a commander would be punished for his carelessness. :/

And you are right - the new damage model is amazing and the sinking ships that are still dangerous add much to the game. It's fantastic.
