Damage Control

Can someone please tell me how I repair certain components like the deck gun or attack periscope. I have damaged items and for some reason they don't repair. I have the damage control team active but nothing happens.

This is very frustrating as this system SH4 employs is not very user friendly, and the manual is once again a waste of print

have you assigned sailors to the damage repair team?

The game doesnt seem to do it automatically.
When in port, i recruit a a whole team who is always assigned as damage controll.
And also, when in any kind of combat, go to battlestations, that activates the damage controll team.

3 possibilites

1. you do not have a damage crew assigned, or the crew assigned is not adequate enough to assess the damage.

2. silent running is enabled

3. you are underwater? and cannot repair the deck or flak guns.

4. When surfaced, assign a gunner to the broken gun. He will fix the last 1%

Are you sure those items are damaged and not destroyed?

Exactly. Sometimes things are beyond repair at sea. Periscope is a common one.

The damage control team will repair everything if possible. All you can really do is change the order in which the systems get repaired.
