I have multiple subs in several ports with between 1 - 3 sys damage that just does not want to repair. Some have been in port a week or longer. It shows 1 day remaining for completion but THAT 1 day never comes.

Is this something from the last patch that the next patch will fix < crosses fingers > or is this maybe a bug I need to post in Tech Support ?

I have the same problem. I think it has something to do with the change in sub devices made by the last patch.

Known problem, related to the last patch, happens when installing the patch and the database change for use in a ongoing game.

Some players reported the damage will repair, others that it will not repair - maybe depends on the date in the game, I don't know.

If you intend to continue an ongoing game, the only remedy - if the damage doesn't repair - is to go back to a pre-patch safe and continue from there. You can install the patch, just say NO when asked whether to update the database (you get asked when loading a saved game).

I have some subs that the damage did repair and some that won't. The level of damage is more of an annoyance than a concern. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something unique to my game.

So for now I will just assume it is lazy crews not wanting to complete repairs so they can spend more time on shore leave. I'll just have to say " Sorry boys you'll just have to fix that on the next visit. See ya in a couple months. "

This is what I see too: Some are, some aren't. I've just reached jan 45 so I'm FAR too far along to let something like this stop me. You've probably noticed too that the subs which appear to have permanent damage never seem to upgrade to the new torpedo tube set-up which the patch implemented. Never mind, they still seem to sink things just fine and the patch also seems to have toned down the insane late war IJN ASW. For that I am very very thankful.
