Now that we have fire, how about flooding screen warning

[Vuronov]

So now that we have an official version of the flaming screen border to let us all know we're on fire, WG should add one for flooding. Perhaps a bunch of rising bubbles along the edges of our screen or the motion of incoming water along the edges.

 

It doesn't happen often, but I have to admit there have been a few times where a torp knicks me during an intense moment in battle (while I'm also fighting another ship etc.) and once I've survived that, I totally miss the fact that I took flooding damage until I suddenly explode a minute or so later! I know it's very much my own fault for the rare lapse in awareness, but I'm sure there are other occasionally dense captains like myself that wouldn't mind a big warning sign telling us "hey bud, you're about to meet the mermaids if you don't hit that repair button." When you're on fire, even without icons, well your ship is spewing flame and smoke, with flooding, once the impact is made, other than the grayed out icon on screen, nothing about your ship really indicates it's flooding until it sinks. Again, self-awareness helps, but some of us wouldn't mind an anvil to the head now and then.

 

Any modders up for adding it until WG does?

and the sound of gurgling water

 

oh, not to forget, you cannot turn it off, just like with the fire effect (:

The screen should reflect how much health you have too.

 

The less health you have while flooding, the more the screen gets filled with water and bubbles, and when you're about to die you start seeing fish.

I was thinking more like looking on the side of a fish bowl as the water level goes up on the screen.  Meanwhile all the visuals below water level look kinda watery as you see the mini map and torpedo warning compass look blurry....is that what you mean?

Awesome, thank you. That crap is annoying, YES I KNOW I AM BURNING TO DEATH, THANK YOU!

 

I'm sorry but we have icons for a reason, I don't need anything else reminding me I'm taking a beating.

And if you're about to flood to death, let a Baby Ruth float along the water on your screen! Everyone out of the water! Abandon ship! lol

What is this "sense" you speak of

 

I mean it's not like the patch notes pointed out that it can be reduced with a checkbox in settings

 

 

oh wait

(in support of your post)

 

Yes Reading is OP™

 

but too many have missed the lines in question, and some who have read them - can't find the check box

Wait....there were patch notes released?

Lol IKR?

 

You would think they would have it for flooding instead, because the icon is the only indicator.

 

I mean, look at your ship. The flames rolling off the deck are NOT because the captain ordered the entire contents of the meat locker cooked at once for a crossing-the-equator BBQ......

I dunno man, that sounds perfectly reasonable.
