Is it too much to expect TC to reset BEFORE I run aground

Platapus · 02-07-10, 06:13 PM

I really hate the TC in SH4.

I had a really successful patrol and was heading back home. I was between midway and pearl so I upped the TC to 1K. I failed to notice one of those micro islands that don't show up on the chart. My bad

But, I would think that the TC would revert back to 1:1 before I slam in to the island at 18 knots!

And don't get me started on the wonderful DC in SH4

how can you even expect such a thing! of course the boat must be completley destroyed and flooded despite the fact that its actually hovering in the air :?

Yeah...we've all been there.

It's even worse in the South China Sea.

HAHA, just happened to me not long ago after one of my best patrols and no save point....Now this is running aground..

Happened to me too. The lookouts must have been blind.

Thank [insert entity here] I was only running 10 knots so the damage wasn't that horrific.

What I love too is high TC and then pressing C instead of X. I only wanted to get the watch to appear but I found myself kissing the seabed at 512TC.... in the same patrol by the way in which I rammed that *censored* island.

But again my Gato proved to be very sturdy and only took some more minor damage.
But the guys at the shipyard were all looking at me in a strange way when I turned in a badly damaged sub without having had a shot fired at me or a DC dropped at me.....
