Breakdown Cover For U-Boats?

[Penelope_Grey]

Ok this may sound laughable but true! I attacked a small passenger/cargo on the surface with my deck dun. In the end I twirled the boat around and put the stern tube at him. Doing this, I midshipped my rudders and stopped the engines. So there we go, kapow! He is sinking: yay!

I goes to move off at ahead 1/3... nothing. No engines! I was like, oh crap. I waited for what must have been 3 minutes or so, till in the end, I got annoyed and I hit D to dive. When the boat was under far enough, the electric engines engaged at 1/3. I stayed under for about a half hour, then surfaced and the diesels then worked thank heaven.

My god, I never had that happen to me before, I was only on stop on the surface for about 2 minutes, if that! Then when I tried to start up at 1/3, like I say, nothing!

Am I alone, or does the U-bootwaffe need AA cover?:rotfl:

:nope: Damn women drivers

:rotfl:

[its a viic]

yup you flooded the engines woman!!:down: Is there a man in the house?:rotfl:

A bit of random sabotage perhaps? Bernards relatives in the engine room? :cool:

I've had something like that happen to me, i think we all have. It's when I find myself in one of those 'things you've yelled while playing SH3 moments'.

Na, I bet they left the seat up again.:p

[johan_d]

it would be fun to have a random failure now and then, what the damage crew CAN repair. I dont mean sabotage, just failures.

[Penelope_Grey]

This is harsh. :down:

Try it and see if it happens to you, stop the u-boat for 2 or 3 real time minutes then try and start it again.

Chill hun

It's probably Bernard's fault. At least the chief got them running again.

I had that happen to me once and after a few minutes everything was fine.

@ Penelope Grey, when this happens (assuming you are not using the malfunctions/sabotage options in SH3Cdr) just select a reverse speed, wait one second, and then re-select your desired forward speed.

Its another one of those goofy SH3 quirks. Usually it doesn't rear its ugly head... but on occasion that it does... the above workaround has always worked for me.

[Penelope_Grey]

Thankyou Kpt L!:)

I've had this happen to me numerous times before. It is a stock SH3 bug. Usually I just start frantically pushing the engine speed buttons on the keyboard until my boat moves again. Then I fire my CE out the stern tube into the props for causin me so much headache.:damn::arrgh!:

[tenakha]

the solution is simple: full reverse to restart your engine, then go back to ahead 1/3, always worked for me

[STEED]

The AA are cheaper :lol:

You tried getting the AA out to sea?

Fat chance. :lol:

[Jimbuna]

I'll have you know I've met loads of alcoholics during my time at sea ;)

[STEED]

I am not an alcoholic Kapitan. :smug:

BURP. :oops:
