Sucks, but same with rudder, you lose it, you can't turn and you're done in.
Are you playing stock? The damage zones in stock are poor and you see more damage like this. Supermods correct it to a degree. I can't recall the last time I lost a shaft or rudder. |
Yes, there is a guy that can fix even 100% destroyed items. But there is also a bug in the game where the dive planes transmission gets destroyed and even if this guy fixes it you can't steer. I don't know why it is the dive planes transmission and not the rudder transmission but I have had it happen about 3 or 4 times. It was a long time ago so I do NOT remember if it was 1.4 or 1.5.

Ability-Master-Engineer-Description=Required compartment: ENGINES ROOM|The presence of a master engineer will make your submarine a safer place to be. The master engineer will reduce the repair and flooding time slightly. When needed he can repair even the destroyed items.
Edit: A clarification on the above. There are some items that are listed in the zones as "Destructable" which I think means they will actually be removed from the sub if they get destroyed and I don't think those items can be repaired, since they don't exist anymore. But the Propeller shaft, at least on the Fleet boats that I looked at, are not listed as destructable.
And also to repeat from my other posts, this 'ability' may have been removed from some mods as unrealistic, but it does exist in the game.
