Wasnt this a plotline in "Up, Periscope"?

Duh, tie everyones clothes together and make a giant sail, use the attack periscope as a mast. Lines? Use the hair you cut from the bloated floating corpses of the nearest tommies, braid it together and sail back to germany! :arrgh!:

@MattDizzle

the idea sounds tempting sir... maybe I should let go the whole line thing..:O:

the boat will eventually sink cuz the compressor that fills the ballast tanks runs on electricity, which in turn runs on batteries, which in turn recharges by diesel propulsion, which in turn runs on diesel, which WE DONT HAVE@@@!!!!:D:har::har::har::har:

Take 2 torpedoes, unmount the warheads, and tie them to each side of the uboat.
Set speed as low as possible, and fire them up, provided the sea is calm. :D

And don't forget to video it - I wanna see that in action:har:

That's even harder...I don't have SH5.:O:

@Paajtor

Nice idea btw, only if someone willing to fastrope and circle around a big assed hull, just to tie a taller, fatter, heavier torpedo, while of course others are holding it at hand ;)

Another idea I had in mind, was to put all men on surface, each tied with a rope as a harness to the (CON)ning tower, and pat the waters with their legs :yeah:

and while they're doing so, they could all chant ''It's a long way, to Tipperary, it's a long way to goooo'' :har::har::har:

There was a US sub in the early 30s, I think, which engines died, and the crew rigged a sail and they made it back.

Get the Cheng to rig up some paddles,
Get the Bosun to rig up a whip

Line the crew on deck in a Greek galley type arrangement, and have them start rowing

Call it a cheat if you want

goto documents\sh5\date\cfg\UPCInitial\GameplaySettings \LimitedFuel=false

You can pretend the SeaTow responded to your call...it'll get you home.

(at least it did during SH4)
