Dead crew come to life

magic452 · 04-03-09, 01:39 AM

Playing 1.5 with TMO 1.63 Just sank a Kiturn Maru troop ship escorted by 2 DD's Took some damage but managed to get clear.
The damage was to the forward deck gun on my Narwhal, there were three crew members at each of the gun stations. Didn't have enough space in DC for all the gun crew. The three on the forward gun were Killed, zero health. First time this has happened to me. I moved the three to DC and put fresh crew to repair the gun if possible. I saved and quit.
Loaded the save the next day and lo and behold I now have 6 dead crew on the forward gun. WTH????? and they were all new at the deck gun station not the three that were previously dead. Apparently the "I'll fix it or die trying" kicked in.
I than moved all crew off the forward gun. Started for port but saved and quit for the day.
Next reload all crew are in perfect health, They had been borough back from the dead. Tough lot these Submarines.
I play dead is dead but apparently my crew doesn't.
Anybody have anything like this happen?

as far as i can say, it seems that somethimes specific informations get lost when saving a game and reloading. i can remember to have had some wounded aboard, after reloading they where in top condition again.

so, to play for real one shouldn't sava games, but play one entire patrol off to the end ...

The crew members who used to be 'dead' aren't staggering about stiff-armed, trying to eat the other crew member's brains by any chance?

That's an odd bug. But then the Narwhals are an odd sub.

I have a question.

Why are you approaching two DD's while surfaced?

As to the bug, just one of those corrupted save file things that pop up now and then.

What happened is you placed fresh men at the gun stations and saved. Seemed harmless enough however when you reload your save the game returns you back to the damage state at your save time. I would guess the three new men got the brunt of returning you back to the damaged state at the save of the game.

Steamwake I was at 300 ft. but if a DC hits the deck guns the gun crews will be injured or in this case killed unless you move them to the DC party stations, which I did but with two deck guns I didn't have enough spots for all the gun crew in damage control.

Torplexed They didn't try to eat anyone yet but I wonder if this is a setup for Neil's next game. It sounds kind of familiar.
