Can't access back of ship on crash dive?
 

It seems on a crash dive you can't move towards the back of the ship as the tilt of the viewpoint stops it.

Not tried it.

Wouldn't everybody have run to the front of the boat IRL during a crash dive anyway?

the same when surfacing after blowing ballast,you get stuck where ever you are until the boat level off.

Is it really tilting that bad in reality? Or is it a bug?

Man, I just saw the first film of 'Das Boot', the miniseries. Ahh, the drama of crash dives etc... Ingame SH5, I would rather have a sterile sub without sailors than braindead zombies who's always chillin' :nope:

I found that I could move backwards, but not forwards during a crash dive. I'd assume the opposite would be true during an emergency surface.

Posted it a few days ago in the bugs thread along with a screenshot, not that anybody who can fix it will likely read it, but I feel better for venting about the problems :DL

At least the tilting of the interior view matches the boat this time, and isn't rotated 90 degrees or so like it was in SH3! :yeah:

Yup yup. Thats what was gonna say too.............noooobody should be heading aft in a crash dive. Heck you couldn't get past all the hands making a beeline for the bow, could get knocked down trying.:88)

"All hands forwarrrrrd! Go, go, go, come on now I wanna see steam comin outta you guys!! This isn't a pleasure cruise damnit!
In case you didn't notice, IT"S AN ALARM! Get into diving postions!!!"

Having served on submarines for 30 years before my retirement I wouldn't suggest trying to move fore or aft when the sub is either diving or surfacing with any angle over 5-10 degrees. Even standing in one place normally requires you hanging onto a piece of equipement while having one foot on the deck and the other on a bulkhead. Any movement fore or aft is a hand over hand chore with the distinct possibility of losing your grip and being face planted up to 30 foot away into a (hopefully) bulkhead or catching the edge of a hatch or stanchion resulting in serious injury. All this is in a modern submarine where water condensation is minimal. In one of the old DB's with condensation on the decks it would have been even more hazardous.

Ouch. :o

Makes sense. The only time I had a real problem with it was when the boat was submerged and trying to evade an escort. It had taken damage, was flooding and had a slight tilt to port. When the tilt occured, I was at the hydro station (doing the soundman's job... again) and couldn't reenter the CR. I wanted Chiefy to reduce flooding but he was to far away for me to click on him through the hatchway. It would be nice if there was an option to click a "Hey you, come over here" button at times like that! :DL

I did a crash dive last night and during it was able to run the length of the boat, bow to stern, no problem.
