Breakdown Cover For U-Boats?

Penelope_Grey · 06-05-07, 10:55 AM

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:

yup you flooded the engines woman!!

A bit of random sabotage perhaps? Bernards relatives in the engine room?

I've had something like that happen to me, i think we all have. It's when I find myself in one of those 'things you've yelled while playing SH3 moments'.

it would be fun to have a random failure now and then, what the damage crew CAN repair. I dont mean sabotage, just failures.

Penelope_Grey · 06-05-07, 04:04 PM

This is harsh.

Try it and see if it happens to you, stop the u-boat for 2 or 3 real time minutes then try and start it again.

Chill hun

We only messing with ya

Sailor Steve · 06-05-07, 04:32 PM

It's probably Bernard's fault. At least the chief got them running again.

I'm a member of the (K.A.) kriegsmarine Association cover number one, which means they send out a Destroyer to tow me home.

Brag · 06-05-07, 05:13 PM

I had that happen to me once and after a few minutes everything was fine.

@ Penelope Grey, when this happens (assuming you are not using the malfunctions/sabotage options in SH3Cdr) just select a reverse speed, wait one second, and then re-select your desired forward speed.

Its another one of those goofy SH3 quirks. Usually it doesn't rear its ugly head... but on occasion that it does... the above workaround has always worked for me.

Thankyou Kpt L!
