FritzRommel · 07-01-09, 12:45 AM

i was DC'ed quite badly and actually spent a fair amount of time on the ocean floor but they DD's evetually did leave. I had a massive amount of damage with extreme flooding, the engine room was 3/4 flooded and the stern torpedo room was about 1/2 flooded. I have fixed everything that i can fix with the damage controll team but i still have no working deisel engines!! the damage controll crew fixes only whats in the little box on the damage screen, but what about the damage thats not in the box? also you can drag and drop option but you cant actually drag and drop anything? or im a doing somthing wrong? i need to know how to fix my boat!!

Boy do you have a problem... you issue is that your desiels are distroyed... and cannot be repaired. Its a old bug, from stock.

XTBilly · 07-01-09, 01:03 AM

And from 1.3 or 1.4 I think, the battery cannot charge without the diesels working...
A bad situation indeed...

Task Force · 07-01-09, 01:04 AM

go to your last save or start a new campaign.

Speedo · 07-01-09, 03:24 AM

You ever hear the old saying, 'My ship is sunk.'? Well, this is what state your ship(boat) is in. Time for a new career. Say hello to Davy Jones for me.

FritzRommel · 07-01-09, 09:01 AM

how do you give your crew special ablities? is there any way to abandon ship and get picked up by the US NAVY? Not all my diesel engines were destroyed, only half of them? and why does the when the water comes in when pipes brust, there is no sound with them?

AVGWarhawk · 07-01-09, 09:08 AM

Unfortunate all the engines are tied in together. If the diesels show destroyed then the show is over. The Navy does not send out rescue.

There is no rescue feature built into the game. All the players who have run out of fuel in mid-Pacific can attest to that. The game engine treats the four diesels as blocks of two, so if you have two out, they're all out.

any mods to fix this? maybe fleet boat? this sucks!

Not that I know of. Look at it this way. At least you won't be spending the next few years in a brutal POW camp mining coal or copper like a real crew would.

Hard coded. The easiest fix is....go deep and silent when attacked. Although submarines are relatively strong under normal cirumstances dropping a DC on top of one proves to be devastating. Better to flee and fight another day then take a DC on the conning tower and get blown away.

No mods there are some hacks but its much easier to either start a new carrer or go to a previous save.

With all that damage and flooding its a wonder you survived at all. I guess it was shallow water.

Also Ive never had a DD break off an attack before destroying me very curious. Even when they ran out of charges they would just hover around waiting for me to come up.

80 hours... good lord whats the Co2 levels like?

Damn good question. Hell at 48 hours the crew would be turning green and gasping for air.

I was only under water for about 7 hours sitting on the ocean floor which was only some 160ft deep. I couldn't run away b/c the stren was so full of water it was dragging on the bottom. I surfaced only b/c i thought that i would never be able to do with the flooding, i did on emergency blow and the boat slowy in unevenly came up, with the DD's only 4000 yards away, but is was pitch black. the rest of the time was spent trying to, in vain i guess, to fix the deisels.
