After a VERY LONG cat and mouse game I was finally able to evade the destroyer, head out into open waters, and escape him.. by this time my batteries were at about 28%.
I surfaced, sent a repair crew to fix everything they could, and continued to head east..
They were able to fix everything except for the attack scope which was destroyed.. I was fine with this as I had plenty of gas and torpedoes.. however, I noticed that my batteries would not charge above 62%, no matter what I tried.. I verified that they were not damaged.. I had no hull damage.. and all of my stuff (except for the attack scope) was fixed... I tried whatever things I could, but no matter what I did, my batteries would not go above 62%..

I was given an optional recon mission at Wake Island.. seems risky.. saved the game and quit for now.. I know that I will need to sneak in under water. but with only 62% batteries and a destroyed attack scope, I'm not sure if I'm going to risk it yet..

Anyway, have any of you ever had this issue with the batteries not fully recharging? This has all happened AFTER I suffered other damage, so I'm wondering if the batteries took damage and it just doesn't show up in the status or damage area.

Jeff,

once your batteries take damage, you cannot fully repair them (back to 100%) until you return to your home base and end your patrol. there was a discussion on one of the forums here not long ago where this topic was discussed at length. you might want to search for it.

be advised that, under certain circumstances, damaged and repaired torpedo tubes will also not be usable until you return to your home port, even though they appear to be fully repaired. again, there was a recent discussion on this topic in one of the forums.

good luck!
