Are these in-game modelled malfunctions??

I ask this, because yesterday when I raised the attack scope on my sub...it was as if the optical mirros in the scope were *&cked!!!! Everything was VERY blurry and I couldn't see a thing....I was thus forced to use the opservation scope for submerged attacks instead.

Thoughts anyone?

Yes. The malfunctions/sabotage option makes test dives and other "out of port" checks more than just a formality. If you enable this option, it is prudent to do as "the real captains" did and perform a series of tests just out of port, rather than learn of a major malfunction in the heat of battle.

GR's post reminded me of something I posted many moons ago... http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...6&postcount=18
