S Class Starboard prop not spinning?

ATR-42 · 07-19-07, 09:02 PM

has anyone seen this before...

first time in the S class. Do a few dives, i notice that after surfacing the number 2 engine isnt spinning. no damage. when i submerge they'll change it over to electric and they will both turn, upon surfacing, they'll pause change it back over, but the other prop wont spin....

normal? any ideas?

strange... i set it to flank, ran it for about an hour (game time) and it came on.

When charging the batteries one prop will be disengaged.

sweet! how long historically does it take to change over?

when the bats are recharged fully it'll come back on.

Just like SH3. I think with the fleet boats, and 4 engines, that it should keep turning, but without 4 engines driving your speed might be slower. I say "might", because the engines actually drove the generators which in turn drove the props or charged the batteries; so the boat might still have been as fast, but with more time required to recharge.

I have one question: in SH3 you could manually change from "Recharge" to "Cruise" mode if you needed the extra speed. Can you do that in SH4?
