Ok this may sound laughable but true! I attacked a small passenger/cargo on the surface with my deck dun. In the end I twirled the boat around and put the stern tube at him. Doing this, I midshipped my rudders and stopped the engines. So there we go, kapow! He is sinking: yay!

I goes to move off at ahead 1/3... nothing. No engines! I was like, oh crap. I waited for what must have been 3 minutes or so, till in the end, I got annoyed and I hit D to dive. When the boat was under far enough, the electric engines engaged at 1/3. I stayed under for about a half hour, then surfaced and the diesels then worked thank heaven.

My god, I never had that happen to me before, I was only on stop on the surface for about 2 minutes, if that! Then when I tried to start up at 1/3, like I say, nothing!

Am I alone, or does the U-bootwaffe need AA cover?:rotfl:
