Okay, I know it's been asked 125743859 times before, but is they any way to change the destroyed engines to damaged or better? Since I worked hard to get away from a destroyer and only to find out I'm stuck with no engines so it was a total waste of my time.

Story: (Early January 1941)
Met three freighters escorted by one Hunt I destroyer off the coast of Guinea. I thought this will be baby's play; just sink the escort and I'll be able to do whatever I want with the other three ships. My first two TII missed the escort so I thought, never mind, I will attack the freighters anyway. Scored one hit on each of the first two ships, then forced to dive. The lousy destroyer must have got lucky because only one of his attacks actually managed to damage me, and it knocked out my engines. So what now?

Well, without engines so get you head to the base and fix them in days to start afresh...

well you dive as far as you can and wait an hour to make sure you lose him. then surface and call BDU to come pick your ass up :)

i have never lost propulsion but once or twice i have lost rudders and had to abandon the patrol. the fact it you have taken critical damage and as far as you should be concerned this patrol is over. just pray that your superiors dont sack you for causing mass damage to your boat

Aviv ,
The war is over for you. Scuttle the Uboot and swim to shore.
If you ever make back to Germany (in game..) then ..... who knows!

Seriously speaking , if you use Stiebler's V16B1 add on you can actually do the above mentioned in SH3!

Good luck.

Don't worry, I cheated by surfacing then just "return to base" from the pause menu haha. I guess my crew just held the rope between their teeth and swam like crazy.

Youcould probaly call for a raider to come and tow you to home base.

(Do this by ending mission and returning to base)
