Telegraph Problem in GWX

Just to muddy the water a bit too... don't forget that when you surface, your U-boat switches to running on one engine to recharge the batteries.

Also, keep in mind that their are two seperate types of diesel engine malfunctions. The first type acts on a specific value.
Example:
Ahead Flank = 11 kts
or
Ahead Flank = 0 kts (and a few in between)

There are also some that deal with various percentages.
Ahead Flank = 75% (of what that speed for that particular boat called for)

There are also combination files plus a whole lot more to mess up your day

Happy Sailing

Hey Hemisent, any chance you can do me/us a favour?

Could you possibly put together a list of the potential malfunctions (the actual settings are not important) and the usual symptoms of same?

Players can then use it as an "equipment troubleshooting" reference.

Maybe a list similar in style to the troubleshooting pages you get in the back of electronic equipment manuals may be more helpful? Then players could look for their "problem" and find the possible causes.

Just a thought.

PS, do you have any plans to add in Type II malfunctions?
