Jumped on a few minutes ago, crewman health was at 3 percent and listed as "manic" and a few minutes ago, his health went to 0, he passed.


In all the years of SH 4 never had this happen, sure I would have noticed. Crewman slowly died in that manner. Seen morale as manic one other time, just wondering if anyone has seen this or noticed before?

Also shocked as it was an experienced Petty Officer 1st Class, been on boat for 6 out of ten patrols. Interesting dynamic to the sim.

you stated that your boat was at an extreme depth and you hit the sack for the night.
when you returned several hours later what was the oxygen level in the boat?
more than likely, it was not very good and that probably contributed to the decreasing health of the injured crewman.

as for the "morale", i believe that is a vestige setting from SH3 and like Intelligence and awards and a few other variables, it does not play an active part in SH4.

a crewman's rank is not a factor in his ability to survive. it is the extent of his injuries and the O2 level that caused his death. a flooded/flooding compartment will also factor into health/death.
