I Think I've been sabotaged. That or SH3 cmdr problem
 

For some reason my flank speed button "5" isn't work anymore. I can hit it but the engines will instantly cut out.

I've been playing a bit with TC values in SH3 commander so I think messing with them might be whats causing it. But I'm unsure. Any help appreciated. Running GWX3 gold

Sounds like a malfunction/sabotage effect...

Did you enable sabotage/malfunction option in SH3cmdr menù?


look for that :up:

When my fuel filter needs changing I can only go slow. Sounds like fuel starvation.........

Its enabled I believe. Can't check it right now but I'm confident in my memory.

Hehe. Must've been sabotaged in port before I left. Ah well. First sabotage of the war, I should probably be glad I lasted till Feb without one issue with my boat.

It has happened to me many times. I'd bet the house that you have malfunctions/sabotage enabled.

I make it a point now to check various systems once I'm clear of port so I don't sail across the Atlantic before I realize I have an issue.

:)

Haha, same thing kind of happened to me (with sabatoge and malfunctions enabled) and I paid the price.

I was cruising along with my TC at 512 and suddenly came across a destroyer leading a small convoy (my watch crew was a little late in notifying me).

Anyway I was pretty close so I ordered a crash dive. I heard the "ALARM!", etc., and went to the control room view to await the impending depth charges that I figured were coming.

Unfortunately it took me a while to realize that my speed had went to 0 even though the indicator was sitting at flank.

And then I got blasted by the destroyer's guns! And that was the end of me.....:nope:

Dang malfunctions/sabotage!

Dale

it happend to me once ahead flank is not working on engine telegraph but I used speed dial instead of telegraph I set speed with speed dial manually to 18 knots and it works :) try to use speed dial for manually when you need to go with flank speed it works :salute:

Sabotage and malfunctions....yet another excellent characteristic brought to you by the one and only SH3 Commander http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

Yeah. I noticed using the manual speed setting enabled me to get back to flank. Just a pain that my "Crash dive" button doesn't work. Means I'll have to be a bit more careful. Thanks for the help guys.
