wheres waldo? nevermind waldo where the hell did otto go
 

:o my faithful engine room officer (otto) has been sucked out the diesal motor or is awol just vanished between partrols somehow ------------------------------------is there a fix ?? or is the bloodky traitor gone for good without changing carreers :o ?

hi,

I think i read somewhere, that if you enter port and have crew, espicially officers in the "damage repair team" section on the crew screen - they may disappear, the solution was to take you repair team back into the rest of the boat b4 docking.

Hope this helps

Perhaps he ran off after those girls who are reportedly writing "Otto, Otto" on the chalkboard...

maybe he is otto the blow-up man from the movie "AirPlane"

Yes, it is important that you remember to do this.

Codmander, I knew Otto when he was a merchant seaman.....he was a dependable mate....unless he found, swindled, cajoled or made his own alcohol.....he would often dissapear for days at a time......my guess is that while on the repair crew he figured out a way to distill some cleaning fluid or lubricating fluid.....check your torpedo tubes, he may just be sleeping one off. :roll:

the bugger weasaled out the torp hatch right before a patrol dam nurses :P yup he was in repair but now he is awol :-? so i'm stuck with a skeleton engine crew in late 42 :o

I feel your pain. I'm in '43 in my IID and I just lost 2 torpedo loaders, both radio guys and the medic. That leaves my with a torpedo officer (but he's the watchman too...), no medic, and very little hydrophone/radar skills :(
Ironicly the medic was the first to be injured and die :roll:

The real bugger of this is that after you lost the officer/crew, they still count in your crew manifest! So you end up with a "ghost" on your ship and worse yet, if you already hit the officer/crew limit, this ghost now scares away any hopeful recruit to be under you command.
