Extended use of full engine power

Leandros · 12-18-13, 01:54 PM

It would have been nice with a mod that restricts the use of "full engine power" relative to time. Either by a warning or the creation of a "technical problem". This "technical problem" should be possible to fix (by the engineers) given a little time. Repeats should result in a permanent technical problem, if possible in an erratic manner. Going full blast on all engines for hours is rather unrealistic.

That said, my feeling is that technical problems usually are fixed too quickly. The general time scale for repairs should also be variable. Just my opinion.

For all my complaints about SH2, it actually had mechanical breakdowns and extended repair times. So did good old Aces Of The Deep.

That's a great idea Leandros.

We always limit the time spent running the engines at over high RPMs even though the game doesn't penalise it currently.

Look at Item 19 of H.Sie's great work (and the manual of it):

Oh, well - this looked a little complicated. Need to wait to try this till I have a period with some spare time....Looks necessary, though........

What an interesting thread. Why? Because I blew my port engine going flank after about 10 minutes. Is that normal?
