I just got depth charged and escaped but part of the damage was the aft Dive planes transmission at 100%. I can dive just fine but it does not answer to rudder commands even though the Rudder transmission is not showing damage. The end result is I am sailing on a steady course and am unable to head to port to get repairs or make any course change for that matter. Any suggestions?

There is a mod in the SH4 Mod Forum, by Traveler, that allows damage like that to be jury-rigged until you get back to base.

You might wanna try it out.

So all is lost without this mod?
I looked but don't see the mod off hand.
I don't think the old timers realize what a maze of acronyms and versions
SH4 mods have become for the newcomer!

Should be fairly new. Was released in the last week or so.

Well, ............ it was here:

Looks like Traveller pulled it.

You might want to PM him about his mod, as he might still have it, or he's revamping it.
