To make it short. I got damaged after an encounter with a task force, the rudder transmission is damaged, along with a stern tube, both of them are now in the repair priority window and when I drag the mouse over the bar next to them it reads: 0.44 for the torp. tube and 0.73 for the rudder transmission so they can be repaired right?

I activated the damage control crew of and after 10-12 in game hours I check on the damage again but there is no progress made, the bars still read 0.44 and 0.73.
What am I doing wrong?

My sub is stationary and surfaced, I filled all the DC crew slots, and I activated them
Can I repair that damage, if yes then how?

Thanks in advance

I have had the same thing only it was 12 DAYS and NOTHING changed. And I had the guy that fixes even destroyed stuff. But, unfortunately I have no idea why. I even took them off battlestations, made sure silent running was off, and clicked off the damage crew and let everyone rest for 2 full days then put them back to work....NOTHING changed. And I mean it the same way you do, not "nothing was repaired 100%" but that the numbers never changed like your .44 and .73. Got to a base for refit (not my assigned base) and everything was fixed instantly, so there is a bug crawling around in there somewhere.
Also my encounter was a task force and they decided to nail me with 6 DDs. So maybe it's just under the right circumstances.
One thing that I do know that has also happened to me and someone else is damage to rudder transmission OR dive planes transmission, even if fixed to 100% I have lost steering. I only bring that up because I noticed you had rudder transmission damage. So maybe the bug is in there somewhere.
Sorry I can't give an solution, but you are not alone.
