Damage to screws and rudders?

[walsh2509]

Are you not supposed to be able to damage screws and rudders? I thought I read or seen that about SH4.

In my 1st mission , I hit a ships in the stern my 0 on her 180 from 800meters the lock was green. After the 2 explosions the ship slowed down and was turing to starboard, I thought that I had damaged her rudder is not her screws as well. But 10mins later she was back on course and back up to speed.

Tonight I was messing about in sub school (torps) I was reading about setting the depth lower and I did so and 1 torp had the ship listing badly, before set at the default depth, nothing much seem to be wrong with her and she sailed on.

I started over, and this time I set the depth at 6meters as her draft was 7, I then set and angle of 5 and fired. I followed the torp in and I could see I was about to miss the stern, I took the camera under and watched as it looked as though it would sail right under her screws, but it didn't, in fact it hit her screw shaft side on and exploded.

Nothing she sailed on and she was in the middle of a turn which she went on to make.

Starboard shaft gone ..

The other in bits

But both screws and rudder working fine.


Was the talk of damage to screws and rudder all just talk, or as I am hoping its still to be fixed in the next patch...

Or is it a no~no

thanks ..
