Ship durability

[Flying fortress]

In UV you can send a ship from Truk to Lunga and find out that your ship has taken about 5 system damage and loss of 3~4 knots. Isn't that a little overkill? I don't see the need for the loss of speed unless required by damage.

Ships could take significant damage, but as long as the engines were fine they could still make good speed, as long as they do not start taking on water.

Suggestion

-Add Engine damage
-Only Flood, Engine, other severe damage results in loss of speed
-The damage already incorporated in UV, the one resulting in severe casualties should make it harder for Damage control
-Smoke, fires, and other damage should make AA less effective.

Just a few ideas I got from playing UV

Incidental SYS has been toned down for WitP. I've run many a TF over some long distances (such as for example, the 1st Airfleet from Pearl back to Japan) and only seen some ships aquire 1-2% SYS

That's good to hear. I was wondering if my ships would be rendered inoperable just by transferring to a new base.

Then my ships sunk list would look like this
