4 engines

It's sad that it's like that,especially when you have only 2 of the 4 Engines destroyed,and yet you still can't use the 2 undamaged disel engines.

Cost me a few good patrols.

Two recent mods worth checking out, if your career has met a premature end due to destroyed engines: Rescue Sub and Take Me Home

The game only sees 2 engines, but the speed, fuel usage and battery recharge time is based on 4. It is only an issue for damage.

If you want to make your diesels more resistant to damage or even indestructible, it is fairly easy. Just open your Data/Zones.cfg file (notepad will do), find the entries [Diesel engine 1] and [Diesel engine 2] and bump up the hitpoint factor. Stock has I believe 100, TMO has it at 600, but you can easily bump it up to 2000 or more each.

Pretty much what I do.Kinda ruins the immersion a bit,but whatever.

and sadly Dr. Beast,right now im stick in 1.4,so I dont think those awesome looking mods will work.Plan on using em once I find my UBM disk again!

(I'm THIS CLOSE to just buying Gold Edition)
