Have you been under depth charge attack? Are you running the stock game? which version? any mods? Your rudder may have been blow off, it was easily destroyed in the stock game if i recall

It's SH4 updated to 1.5 or 5.1 whatever it is,
Mods
Gfo Mod
No crew Fatigue
Improved Ge Torpedo

Can't see how it's the prop as have been back to base a few times, I would think that would have been repaired if it was a problem.

Thanks

not the prop but the rudder is what gets blown off.

go to exterior views and look for the big flat rudder behind the prop, if you don't see it then you have no more stearing and you have to end your patrol or be stuck at sea helpless. unless you can go in a straight line forward or reverse and get near enough to your home port to dock.

there is no repairing of outer hull damage when refitting so only interior systems and damage get fixed but you will get all damage fixed including the outer hull repaired if you "dock" at home port.

Or,
If you set it to zero by using the dial, then it is almost impossible to get it exactly at zero. If you want true zero, then hit the ' key. You also have to consider drift from currents.

Sounds like rudder was blown off, that was something about stock that always annoyed me, lose the rudder, no other way to steer. Lukcily in ods like TMO rudder is made very tough
