Interesting damage result

mike_espo · 04-20-09, 09:42 AM

Doing a test while in port between patrols. Created a scenario for the Sugar boats fighting the infamous Akakaze escorting a tanker.

Akakaze vet ratings. After he spotted me, I dove to 150ft. After the first pattern, he hit me hard. Lotta fuel lost, batteries damaged and engine room flooding, compressor damage.

Results were a loss of compressed air which did not cease until I ran out completely!

Had a repair crew on it with #1 priority, but it took too long to repair. I always keep externals to get the wonderful views of my boat especially under attack. Once flooding was under control, I tried to take my boat up, and it actually went down again

. So I did the opposite and tried to take her down, and she went up!

I did external view and found that she was stern heavy due to flooding, but after the flooding was under control, the same thing happened. I checked the planes, and since I saved under water, bow planes were missing

. But the stern planes were stuck in the down position. Finally had to surface as I could not keep the boat under control, and compressed air was at 10%. Surfaced 1500 yards from the Akakaze and when I reached the surface at a 30deg up bubble, I was a sitting duck, and the kicker, the diesels would not start

Akakaze rammed me and I was dead

Funny, as I did not have any damage to diving planes or diesels listed and I had 48% fuel left....

I am running TMO 1.7. I wonder if this is an effect of this mod, if so, COOL

, except for the diesels being dead.

Anybody else notice something similar??

thanks

I read somewhere in the forum we should only save the game on the surface in real time - is this the result of saving under water???

When I first started playing this game,I had all sorts of strange stuff happen after saving submerged,so,I always save surfaced.

rockin robbins swears this doesnt happen to him but most people learn to avoid issues after saves you must follow these guidelines:

it is best to only save if:

you are surfaced and not moving or near stopped

no AI contacts are reported nearby by your crew

you are not within at least one mile of land but i prefer 5 miles away

you are not in shallow water where your shallow water icon is flashing

its also a good idea to turn off battlestations too

never save underwater near land or with any AI presence in the area or in most cases it corrupts your game.
