Ships Repair

Will the fleet send a tender out to repair your sub...say if your rudder is blown off? IF not, what do you do then? End it all there and submerge to your death?

good question, I raised this issue as apotential for a future mod as it seems a waste of valuble materials and well trained sailors if there is no potential for rescue. I have no idea what the navy did in real life but if your radio is working you would think that the option to call for help would be a smart one...\Can any of the history buffs tell us whatthe SOP was for disabled boats?

And also a potentially dangerous one.

Radios aren't exclusive. Anybody who can reach that channel/frequency can listen in. The signal can also be used to track down positions.

While I don't doubt that if a crew was in distress they would be assisted in anyway possible, I don't think doing it via radio (unless all other forms of encrypted communications were disabled) would be how they did it.

They radioed on U-571 :rotfl:

I know in Silent Service 2 you could radio for a tug boat to help if you ran out of fuel. I guess it all depends on how far away from friendly waters you are, but they certainly did assist damaged boats.

I'd be reluctant to send a message based on that very main factor. Giving position away unless of course there were friendlies around that could assist.

In SH IV, dive as deep as the dial goes or simply load a previous save. Nothing else you CAN do.

Come on guys, calling for help is the only way, I mean this is a game after all. Or do you want a mod that allows you to rig a mast and sail home?:p

I dont think a mod for running out of fuel is needed . Where were bases with refuelling capabilities for allied subs and are they historically portrayed in SH4 at correct times etc . This is how i would approach the problem .
