Oh snap! I lost my rudder!
 

sorry if it's already been asked, I could not find anything in the search function. but in one DC attack, my rudder fell off :o, how can I get back home?

:rotfl: :rotfl: :oops:


I have no idea man.......................

good luck with that, i say suicide mission if ur heading towards japan.:up:

You are in serious trouble! How does the sub sail with no rudder? Will it turn at all?
Maybe you can rig a sail and throw up a makeshift rudder.

screenshot for evidence?

Too bad you can't operate the engines independently. You may have been able to sail your way home using differential thrust.

Given how close together the screws are, I would expect the amount of leverage would be minimal. And trying to maintain a course even harder.

I'd rather just restart the mission.:)

I've been reading a couple book latley, and they used their engines independently all the time. Making quick 180 degree turns they saved allot of time by doing this..

In all reality if they make it possible to lose your rudder they made a big mistake by not allowing to operate the engines each at a time.

My fathers boat ( obviously smaller than a sub :) )
has twin 250's outboards, if you only use one engine you will turn with the quickness, and the props are much closer than a subs.

Yes I suspect most would. A few of the skippers enjoy playing DiD (dead is dead) though. :)

The engines in conjunction with the rudder will be quick, independent of it - especially if it's jammed - is another story entirely.

but the submarine could be manouvered with the engine alone, it was/can/could be done.

I'm not saying it can't, I'm saying it'd take bloody ages to do it and trying to maintain course in anything but perfect conditions would be a nightmare.

Thing is though, I'm alive:smug:, setting on the suface, waiting to figure out how to get back home.:nope:
