Weapons Officer loses it.
 

There we were, right in the middle of a Royal Navy Task force, about 150 metres down, running silent as we dodge the inevitable barrage of wasserbombs after having put 4 of our fish broadside into an Illustrious class Carrier, when I turned around to notice my Weapons Officer exhibiting some very unusual behaviour....click the thumbnail.

I think the stress might have gotten to him. Perhaps this is his way of distancing himself from an unpleasant situation. A bit like the "This is my space, nothing can harm me in my space." self therapy. Either that or he's playing charades with my Nav Officer, no doubt pretending to be a starfish.

So I switch postions...went to the opposite end of the command room, he's still doing it....take screener. I duck into the radio room and come out again to check on him....Aargh. he's still in the same position except his body has dissapeared and he's become a dis-embodied head....Somebody get the medic!!!

After putting some distance between ourselves and the destroyers, I secured the crew from silent running and headed back up topside. Luckily my WO had returned to normality again.

I've been playing SH3 a while now, done more patrols than I care to remember over several careers, but it's the first time I've seen this kind of bug. Is it common ?

My watch crew used to do that, but I kept ignoring them. Now they tried something more radical :hmm:

It's called a t-pose, it's the default position of models when built for a game. Under conditions they can revert to it....it's a bug.

A nasty one!:dead:

Yep.This also happens on other games that use sort of like the same "3d human model" like counter-strike or UT.Sometimes the model skeleton position resets itself to the "t-pose" or "default position" for no apparent reason.Also happens to me with the crew some times+more radical things like Dowly's watch ,or the WO being just a floating head...

OK WHO WAS THE MODDER WHO MADE THE INVISIBLE UNIFORMS!:arrgh!:

Great !! kriegsmarine has stolen the philadelphia experiment, the age of the invisible boat has arrived :rotfl:

or is a ghost crew

Strange Behavior
 

Remember, WWII was pre Valium.

"Young man, there's no need to feel down..." Looks like your crew has the YMCA fever..

Capitain must have opened those two packs of Beck's under his bed:lol:

The correct answer to the charade is Chocolate Starfish!:rotfl:

Muahaha :rotfl:

Good replies all, thanks.

Has anyone ever noticed that when you first go to the conning tower after surfacing, it looks like you snuck up on watch officer and the lookouts goffing off. The lookout on the right turns to the watch officer and appears to be handing him his binos. Sort of like "Quick, here comes the skipper".:hmm:

Ah that might explain why they usually see me before we see them !

and here I thought it was radar !

I've caught my watch crew doing the same thing: Arms and legs outstretched, pivoting back and forth. I assumed that they were stretching / absorbing the rays of the sun / doing some kind of bizarre aerobic exercise.

As for the floating heads... gads! It's like someone told them not to lose their heads and they took it too literally, having lost everything else!
