My sub is leaking for no reason!?

Vlad34 · 09-04-07, 11:33 PM

Alright, here is my question. For the last week and a half my sub has been leaking water at a ceiling fitting on the bridge, and another ceiling fitting in the conning tower. The funny thing is I have not sustained any damage and my damage control team has been doing their routine maitenance. It doesn't even show up my damage report screen either, and while it's not a threat to my sub it is just very annoying. What gives? Has anyone had this trouble or heard about it? Any insight would be helpful. Thank you to those that read and respond!

You've not sustained any damage? Meaning what, no systems internally have required repair, or you've not been attacked at all?

A bomb goes off as you crash dive. the sub takes no damage that requires fixing---it is still possibly damaged. Say it takes 100 damage points to penetrate the hull and damage some internal system. If you take 99 points, nothing inside is damaged. The hull still takes 99 points damage, and you will see leaks, etc.

Go home and dock. Try not to dive deep.

If you see leaks in command room or conning tower you have somehow sustained damage. Personaly I don't let it bother me to much, keep it in the back of my mind, don't dive deeper than 160' in my Sboat, attack safe targets lone merchants an such, I can't go home empty handed

Nada, nothing! I have not been shot at, depth charged, and no system repairs needed ( on this patrol that is ). How it started is, I finished what I needed to for the night then saved my game and went to bed. Next day, I load the saved game and all of a sudden the sub is leaking and I see absolutely no signs of damage anywhere! Is it possible that this file is somehow corrupted? I am working on my eight objective within this patrol (so the file has become rather lenghty) but I am not sure if that really has anything to do with it. Anyway like I said, I am not worried about it, it is just more annoying than anything I just wanted to know if others have had this issue or not.

If you save game to close to land or map contacts, you will receive hidden damage, not sure this is your case, but is someting to keep in mind

I have noticed that if you have crewmen already in your DCT slot, theyll always take care of "the little things" so dont take it as your going to sink in the next week

Eight Objectives?? How long have you been on patrol? Are you patched to 1.3?
What mods do you use if any? You have never been attacked on this patrol?
Many unanswered questions here to give you a knowledgeable answer...
