GWX3GOLD - couple of odd things I noticed tonight

Paul Riley · 06-13-09, 05:38 PM

Noticed a couple of odd things on my patrol tonight,nothing too serious though.First,this was just off Lerwick,I had positioned myself about 10km from the base waiting for night to move in on the surface,yet I noticed at a dead stop the rudder was going crazy,going full left then right,but we were not moving.I ordered rudder centred and the bug went.I actually thought at the time we were caught in some net or something,but we didnt hear any sounds to confirm that

Second,some way out to sea dived to 13m to observe a ship's co-ords,but noticed the deck was still accessible,and was able to go on to the conning tower with the rest of the watch...UNDERWATER! I went a little lower then back to 13m and the bug disappeared.

As I say,nothing too drastic,just a little odd.Any ideas?

And the rudder is neither a bug. It's just your helmsman trying to maintain course to the waypoint you have set. If you are so slow you are actually drifting backwards he has to reverse the ruddersetting to keep direction. Just like you steer your car backwards. Once you order him rudder amidship he stops worrying about it.
