Right full rudder - all ahead flank!

Reece · 05-15-08, 05:36 AM

Hi, I never actually encountered this before, the sea was rough with high winds, & I was turning into the wind with full right rudder at flank speed, I thought I was going to capsize!

Anyone else have this type of behavior?

oh yes! not from rudder changes mind you, but from having a bomb dropped real close next to my type II, it kept rolling heavily for quite a long time after having almost been knocked 90 degrees sideways

I've also had that happen with a IXc but that was 2 bombs...

But if you look carefully at the picture it's not the boat that is rolling heavily to port (look at the horizon) but the sailor taking the picture.

You weren't about to capsize, you were about to do an Eskimo roll

I've had this happen to me, in my case I thought it might be due to NVDrifter's - Depthcharge Shake. If it is, I wouldn't remove the "Fantastic" mod, besides it's exciting, like being on a rollercoaster.

@ The Bad Wolf, You might be onto something there, I didn't give the Depthcharge shake a thought, but it does mod the camera.dat file, thanks.

happened to me too a couple times. But I think it's impossible to capsize in the game, or has anyone managed to do that?
