She got me with DCs about 30min after I suck the Maru. I was trying to sneak away at 180ft and thought I lost her, but no. I had TC on about 8 when it happened so I didn't have enough time to do damage control. <Note to self, don't do that> It was in an S-boat. I was assigned a photo mission in a harbor SW of Tokyo and I was north of there along the coast at night when radar picked them up. 2 fish into Maru but didn't sink. 1 more and she starting sinking, but the Patrol Boat started for me. The rest is history. I noticed one thing with the S-boats. It seems 20mm gun fire will do terrific damage to the boat. Even from just a few hits. Seems unrealistic to me. I was searching for a Maru contact, at night in a storm, couldn't see ****, when all of a sudden I hear ping, ping, ping. I then saw it at about 11 o'clock and crashed dived. I thought I was going to collide but the sub went right under at amidships. A couple of minutes later I saw all the damage messages and then the normal game pause when sunk and then CTD. I was in shallow water, less than 300ft, so I don't know if I hit bottom or not. I've been trying to recreate it to find out if the 20mm damage is to great. It could be just fine, but I don't remember it being that strong before. I think I'm gonna change my captains name to either Kamikaze or Idiot. I take to many chances and the outcome is usually not good. Great job, btw on the mod. Here is the program. https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=3560
