The repair screen has, for better or for worse, been completely done away with. The repair screen now consists of a large radial dial that appears in the middle of your screen when you hit the repair button. You can then choose, by pressing a direction, which part of the ship you want to repair. | The repair screen has, for better or for worse, been completely done away with.

'''Fire Damage''' appears when enemy fire strikes the flammable sections of your ship - that is, either your fuel or your magazine. Fire damage slowly harms your ship, just like water damage from the previous game. Upon an explosion, your ship will take considerable damage and potentially spawn a few other problems.

'''Water Damage''' appears when your ship strikes a torpedo, or when shells pierce the belt armour. Water begins rushing into your ship and increases its likelihood of sinking. Press the repair button and choose the uppermost option to begin pumping water out of your ship and help keep it afloat. | '''Water Damage''' appears when your ship strikes a torpedo, or when shells pierce the belt armour.

'''Engine Damage''' will cripple your ship's ability to move, rendering it extremely difficult to manoeuvre. Considering your engine is right in the middle of your ship, it is often struck by inaccurate shots. | '''Engine Damage''' will cripple your ship's ability to move, rendering it extremely difficult to manoeuvre.

'''Periscope Damage''' will prevent you from using your periscope while submerged. Obviously this only applies to submarines, and replaces the engine option in the repair screen. | '''Periscope Damage''' will prevent you from using your periscope while submerged.

'''Armament Damage''' appears when one or more of your ships weapons have been destroyed. Both artillery cannons or AA guns can be affected, as well as the torpedo tubes on a submarine. It's sometimes difficult to decide whether this takes priority over other repair functions or not, as the inability to fight back against attackers can be serious. On the other hand, in a battle between battleships repairing your AA guns would be pointless. So long as your ships isn't in dire need of other repairs, or if your main method of attack is impaired, this is usually what you'll want to have your crew work on. It's the leftmost option of the repair screen. | |||
'''Body Damage''' is simple damage to your hull. It is the default position, and can be repaired by simply choosing the center option (pressing the repair screen and releasing it without choosing anything). When set here the health of your ship will increase - extremely slowly, but given a few minutes of game time, the ship will eventually repair itself to full health. It repairs extremely slowly, however, and it is not easy to disengage to repair while under fire. | '''Body Damage''' is simple damage to your hull.

At any time you can tell the progress of your repairs - and which component is being repaired - by looking near the helm of your ship. The red ring will decrease slowly as the component is repaired, and the gold ring shows which component is being repaired. | At any time you can tell the progress of your repairs - and which component is being repaired - by looking near the helm of your ship.
