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.

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.

Sucky ending to a cool story.

How does everyone work game saves? I rotate three saves so I usually don;t get too far into something that works out badly. Saved my bacon on more than one occasion.
