GWX and Flooding

Sharkfood · 04-03-07, 03:26 PM

Hello,i am curious if this is normal.I got DCed by a Black Swan,a Hunt and a Dido.Hull integrity stayed ad 100% (i have modded the GWX so that it shows hull integrity),but i had flooding in 3-4 compartments.To my surprise,the boat would keep sinking no matter what were my orders and mind you the flood wasn't serious and got fixed in time.Only one compartment had visible water in the damage screen and not at high level.

Even if i gave order to surface,the boat would still dive.The only way to counter this was to repeatedly blow ballast,which allowed me to level at 169m,while also giving surface command continously.Now fortunately,i made it out of there at 99% hull integrity,both scopes and flak gun destroyed on a nice "red" conning tower.

My question is: Is this behaviour of the sub normal?I almost finished my compressed air trying to maintain depth by blowing ballast and damage wasn't even so serious! If i had some serious flooding ,i would have been dead meat(or sharkfood in my case).It just doesn't seem quite normal to me.

Is it normal for GWX?

Thanks
