Oh yes, fire... multiple times over the years. Almost as bad of a situation as a broken battery bank... be ready to have to surface, since the smoke from the fire does affect your O2 and CO2 levels of your boat. While not as bad as the chlorine gas resulting from the battery bank being compromised, it still is NOT good... You are usually warned by the crew about the breathing hazard, and that's when you need to get some air in the boat. I cannot remember how to activate the repair team, or even if you do... but prioritize that fire.
Do you not have SD radar on your boat just yet? You want to crash dive prior to the spotting of aircraft if at all possible. By the time you see them, they have usually seen you, and it is basically too late. While the damage model is a bit strange in the game (still so in SH4), it does teach you to respect airplanes... lol - Good luck with it
