Another Snafu ?

[Captain_AJ]

Recentlly while moving on my too my designated station , in The Phillpines sea . I took the route of going threw the bismarks sea and very close too Rabaul . The Depth under keel was only 98 ft , Not Much to dive on , My batterys were half charged , and I was on the surface . I was looking too get some action in Rabaul harbor .. That was not good , While I was checking something else . Out Nowere . My Radar Didnt seem to pick-up a fast moving target . That Target was 2 Hk8 kawaski flying Boats . Well I took a hit in my engine , destroying the two deseil engines . at least that was the report in the damage page of the game . so my boat sank all the way to 98 feet and landed on the rock bed . The damage control teams repair priorty was too fix the bulkhead . It was fixed within an hour , I than was able too mange 4 knts with the bow @ a 20 degree angle . The flodding stopped . so I surfaced and the boat pumped out the remainning water in the engine compartment , But after the report said "DESEIL ENGINES REPARIED ' there was no engines for the surface . I was dead in the water . I tried too Move that icon in the damge control teams Priority . But it wouldnt take the icon to repair it . So instead . I kept the boat at periscope depth . Until I intercepeted a snall convoy heading into Rabaul Harbor . I was at a perfect angle . I manged too get a shot at 2 of 3 destroyers , gettin the 2 to become dead in the water . I also got a shot On the merchent which turned out to be a troop transport . , That ship didnt get hit so bad , and continued on its way ,

However My batterys were down too 25% and I was only able to manage 2 Knts with ahead full . I was severly attacked by the remainning destroyer . I could not dive fast enough . so I used the crash dive option to dive the boat . Limeted Myself to a depth of 150 feet and than would blow ballast to get the boat at 50 ft too periscope depth . after awile the remainning destroyer gave-up the chase and headed for Rabaul . I than turned my bow towards the remainning destroyers that were dead in the water . It took a aditional 2 torps each to sink each of the destroyers , My batterys depeleted . I was only getting 1 knot at all settings in the engine quadrant . after the the destroyers were sunk . I surfaced and was dead in the water no surface engine power and No batterys And very close too Rabaul So again I tried to get the desail engeines repaired . this again was a mute option . this again is after the danage control team reported that the desail engeines were repaierd a few 3 hours ago . Is this a snafu in the game ?
