Hull Integrity

Kwik question regarding hull integrity.

I have the game set to 100% realism in campaign mode with 13 mods activated. When being depth charged i sustain damage to my systems but no damage is incurred by the hull. Attacks by planes and boat guns do register damage to my hull.
The MODS installed are:- Compatible Conus00's Graphic Mod + SV's work
SteelViking's Interior Mod V1.20
U-boat Historical Specifications 1.4 by ddrgn
MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1 Alt w beards
AilSmoke 1.7
NewUI's_TDC_5_0_0 By TDW
NewUI's_TDC_5_0_0 No_Hyrdo_On_ Surface_No_Aircraft_Spotting By TDW
IRAI_0_0_29 By TDW
SUB_hyd_fix_SH5
and a couple of SFX mods, loaded in this order.

My question is,should i be experiencing hull damage when depth charged and if so what might be causing none to register?

You may want to check (yes I know it lowers 100% realism but use external cam) how close the Charges are going off to your boat.

From my experience the DDs (at least in the early stages of IRAI) were really hit or miss and if the can wasnt within 5-10m of you it didnt caue that much damage.

thnx for your kwik reply.

I'm getting damage to engines and the like but not to the hull

I'm in game at moment at a depth of 163m with 4 destroyers above me. I have sustained damage to engines and other systems but my hull integrity is still 100%.

Hmm.. I'm not really sure then..

I know from my own experience that the hull integrity is weird sometimes..

Please bear in mind that I haven't played the game in something like 3 months so it may be outdated but..

I took my boat on a dive test to see exactly how deep she could go.. went out to the atlantic, dove to 180m and set to 1knt speed and sank like a rock made it to 600m still no damage when all of a sudden i got flooding and some hull damage.. I'd hit bottom

.. what followed was me dragging along the bottom taking 1% hull damage every time I scraped. at 1% hull damage at 720m I was still alive, then one more scrape and boom I had the "your dead" screen.

TY again for reply.
Played SH5 stock game patched to 1.2 with no mods but can't for the life of me remember if my boats hull was damaged by depth charges.

At some point I must have been receiving hull damage from depth charges, I check the subs systems page frequently if attacked. My sub being impervious to hull damage is unacceptable gameplay for me and I think I would have noticed.

Sorry to bump this again. I'll try to ask the question from another angle.

Which Mods, if any, change the files for damage?
Is this a stock bug that other people have noticed?

Did not change anything, but at last took some hull integrity damage from a depth charge

Still do not understand how both my diesels can be destroyed by depth charge and hull integrity stay at 100%, but at least the hull can be damaged by depth charge.
