repairing destroyed equipment

raziel08 · 03-13-10, 09:57 AM

only your subsystems can be repaired. your hull will only repaired if you dock, not restock. the ability "repair subsystems" works. but it will cost 10 morale points by default and it results in an instant repair.

subsystem can be repaired yes sure but thats the problem he tells me he cant do that , so my engines are still destroyed lol.

?

diesel engines are SUBsystems?
Not owning SHV, the Diesel are surely MAIN systems or something?

How the funk is a man able to fix something that is totally Forked, especially something as big and complex as a diesel?

a pipe, a tube, valves, sealings bearings... well okay... but a dead 1200hp diesel...

If you recall, in Das Boot they struggled to find a small coil of wire.

(I know Das Boot isn't real ... they're just glove puppets. Sorry kids)

i dont have the game so i cant give specifics but engines are a primary system and NOT a subsystem so they are most likely just not on the list of destroyed equipt that can be "undestroyed" by special abilities.

there is most likely a list in a file somewhere that tells the game what can be "undestroyed" by special abilities so if you find where that is then maybe you can add the engines to the list.

agree you cant repair the hull in real life you would need a proper drydock to fix a hull so you could dive

But if the guy has two destroyed diesel engines( I am in the same boat btw) you would think that the engineer would tear them both apart to get one working.... It is what I would do.

I asked this question too..... You will notice that even though he says that he cant do it; if you click on him again there will be an eta next to the request. This is usually around 5 days. I have never waited for the five days to be up so I can't answer your question but if you have lots of patience you could hang on and see what happens

That's the cooldown period. After five days you can ask him again and he will still say no.

So what's the point???

What would have happened in real life?? I would have imagined they would have called for support of some sort

I have asked the Chief to repair Damaged systems, he says "cant do that right now", but i still get an icon at the top of the screen saying he's doing it.

Bilge_Rat · 04-13-10, 09:37 AM

have you checked the status screen?

I have had the diesel engines damaged, even off line from DCs, but you can see them get repaired over time, i.e:

yes, send out a distress signal to U-Boat control.

If far out to sea, they would hope another U-Boat would come to rescue the crew after which they would scuttle the boat.

If it was close to a friendly port, ships would be sent out to tow the U-Boat back to port.

Did you realize how big those things are? Those engines couldn't be disassembled at sea. Maybe you could fix the injection pump, a leaky fuel pipe or even change a broken valve spring, but everything else required the ship to be in drydock. I think that, as in most big naval engines, each of the six engine pots could be switched off individually so, if the problem was severe but limited, the engine could still be operated.

I cannot imagine what mishap could cause the destruction of one of those engines... a gripped piston, maybe. Or due to depth charge damage, the hull is bent enough that the shafts are affected too. It happened sometimes on ships struck by seafloor mines.

Any major repair was carried out in drydocks. The sub was gutted open and the engines lifted with a heavy crane. I think I have seen a photo somewhere on one the books on the argument I own.

Man, I hope you are a good swimmer
