Uncontrollable Dive

daft · 04-09-07, 02:13 AM

I've seen this too. However, I have taken hull damage, repaired it and still managed to control my dives afterwards. Once I even had two gaping holes (one just below the conning tower and one in the aft torpedo room) without loosing my ability to submerge, so it doesen't happen every time my boat is damaged.

Usually I can still blow tanks to surface, or blow tanks just to stabilize at my preferred depth, but it's not a state you really want to continue a patrol in. I'm fine with being damaged to the point where I can't safely submerge, but some sort of indication of that damage would be nice.

hi neal this is happening to alot of us is there anyway you can inform the dev team that this is a critical thing that needs to be fixed with patch 1.2 with the mods out there this is the only problem im seeing so far except for crew deaths happening where you lose your entire crew almost

And heres me thinking i must be hitting mines when i dive but all along it was a damn bug!

I think this only happens when the bulkheads got damaged previously. Normal flooding is no big deal, but once the bulkheads crack it's over with the diving fun, even if you manage to repair the initial damage.

I've had bulkhead damage and been able to dive normally after repairing the damage. I've been getting down to 200+ feet without problems in my current patrol despite taking bad damage. Had a lot of fun with flooding too when I have only been able to control the descent by increasing my speed which was fun when I needed to rig for silent running.

I have to admit the whole damage/control system is still a bit of a mystery to me, even after a dozen patrols. I'm still not quite sure what's a bug and what's a feature...
