Do you have silent running on? Your crew won't reload torps or perform repairs when its on.

Rat Sub,

If the icons are completely red it means that they were destroyed. Any repairs at sea will be impossible. I'm afraid you'll have to return to base to get new 'scopes :cry:

Good luck,.

I've done that. See the blind man's cane and blackout glasses on my battleflag? That represents a 3000 mile return trip with no periscopes, playing blind man's bluff every time I surfaced. Hope you survive! Be careful.

I hope you have working sonar/radar and are playing Trigger Maru. Then you could at least extend the SD mast before surfacing. Good luck! :ping:

I think I'd be heading for home and repairs. Without Radar,and no 'scopes......Not a good plan to continue the patrol.

Yeah I would too it's just common sense.Your main option of attack is gone(Unless you can line a shot up using the sonar and hydrophone).I would just RTB and get the 'scopes fixed.
