Hatch riveted shut

Seaman_Hornsby · 05-04-10, 06:02 PM

So, I decided to fire up the Bismarck single mission and was having a swell time. I managed to locate and get in close enough to the Nelson to put four fish into her. She cruised along for a while down by the bows and finally plowed under the waves for a confirmed kill. Hooray!

But after my success, I know that another British battleship is still lurking out there so I'd better surface and have a look at that distant sound contact if I'm going to save the Bismarck. I'm in the control room, order us up and head up the ladder only to find the bridge hatch still securely closed and not budging one inch.

"Hmm, that is strange" I think to myself. Perhaps Bernard is on watch and is standing on the hatch. After ordering another surface, another dive to periscope depth, and another surface, the hatch is still riveted in place and not moving. I head aft and find the diesels running, so I know at least part of the boat is on the surface. The external camera reveals my watch crew up on the bridge pointing and gesturing, but I can't get the hatch open to join them.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, so I fire up the Kriegsmarine Standard Issue Teleporter for U-Boat Captains. Shift-U takes me to the bridge! Success! Ah, but the hatch is still riveted shut, so now I can't get below to dive the boat.

At this point I know my single mission is toast. I head towards the sound contact, and find myself able to make an easy approach on a British battleship- on the surface!

We lasted a long enough to launch torpedoes, but not long enough to see if any hit.

Or save and reload.

Very high seas shuts the hatch. This might be the case here. It has happend to me several times. I've even got stuck between the hatch and the ladder due to this.
In the Bismarck mission the weather is quite bad if i remember it correctly?

Isn't this yet another bug to be fixed in the upcoming patch?

I've had it happen to me in bad weather too.
