Rudderless - Any Idea ?

OldWulf85 · 08-13-14, 04:23 AM

Hi,
this is the situation:
I was in a battle with a destroyer in the middle of the pacific, then i was hit by a waterbomb and my (side)rudder slips away.
Engines and Co been not damaged and I can run in the deep and drive forward and backwards without problem, but I can't turn.
My first idea was to steer with the engines - backboard slow, steerboard fast, but it don't work.

TechSpecs: Only Wolfes of the Pacific, no other mods.

Anyone have a idea ?

The game does not model starboard and port engines. They both are either on or off. You can not steer with engines in the game only your rudder will do that and since you do not have one you are now lost at sea and will die a horrible death after eating your rotten food and running out of water.

Unless a passing patrol boat sinks you first ...

Looks like I find dis evenings dinner ....

How ruccky for yoi

Choose some volunteers to go overboard and do the repairs. Pick your best mechanics and put an officer in charge of the damage control team
