Damage control... how does it work..

Sadly, I never really understood how the damage control system in this game works..

I just assume its terrible, doesn't work right and go on my way.

For example.. just now (playing dead is dead too) I'm on my way back to Australia and didn't realize there were land units by the Sea of china, playing TMO/RSRD right now..

Bang bang.. two hard shots.. Emergency dive.

100 feet down and I have 33% hull damage and my engine room is 40% flooded..

I quickly add guys to my damage control area, order general quarters, I highlight my mouse over the flood, it says, Flooding 28 minutes, repair 23.

ok?

2 minutes later, 100% flooded, the guys in the engine room where the flood is, are all hurt, or at least they have the medic symbol over them.

I was able to skirt away from the area, and surface, having to blow ballast to do it.. Coming up at a terrible angle, almost 75% angle.

I get up..

I max time compression, and still nothing is being fixed.

As for damaged components.. Bulkhead, compressor, diesel engines and some other stuff.

I always bring the bulkhead to the top thinking this would be the most important thing to fix.

3 days later, still have the same amount of flooding and it looks as if nothing is fixed.. As for the guys in the damage compartment, well they have the green bar 80% filled, so they have some experience in that department.

Where am I going wrong? It seems as if I am completely not clicking a right thing or something.

I loved SH3's damage system.. Was so intense, so hands on.

Unless I'm doing something wrong?

THANKS
