Is this damage a bug: 1.3???

Wulfmann · 08-09-07, 09:23 PM

I took a pretty good DCing in a convoy attack and only survived because the depth was only 110 feet so had time to make repairs. However, my dive planes were destroyed.
Everything else was eventually fixed. When I tried to turn the boat it would not change course.
Rudders were fine.
Oddly the boat dove the same but no matter what I tried it would not steer.
Is it possible the dive planes and/or rudders are reversed regarding damage???
That is destroyed dive planes = No steering???
It should effect diving but it does not.
Repair men remained in the control room working long after all was finished, nothing more to fix; days.
I went back and forth until I found a Jap DD and let him sink me so I could see how dying was in SH4.
Big improvement over SH3, IMO

I had that problem the other day 2 but I cheated and re-loaded my game and avoided that fight.

Haven't come across it yet but then I haven't been caught out yet (touch wood)

Are you sure you still have a rudder,by looking under water,had this on 3 separate boats. DEV humor,was my guess?
Otherwise a feature intended to make you use separate eng.controls both features that got cut short to meet UBI production schedule.

Hey, at least now in 1.3 you get to keep your rudder. in 1.2 I lost my rudder 3-4 times and had to swim for shore. I guess they fixed the rudder with a touch of superglue. Throw some acetone or paint thinner on your screen and you'll be able to turn your rudder, mate

At 100% I can not leave the boat.
It states my rudder is fine and my dive planes are destroyed.
I can dive, I can not steer!!!!
I can only guess that might mean when the dive planes are damaged it means the rudder????????????????????????????
It might be the rudder was destroyed but the game mistakenly accesses the dive planes on the screen.
Which begs the question if it says rudders are destroyed what is "really" destroyed.
As in SH3 I take such bugs as bad luck and accept the fate, start a new career.
Many U-Boats and US Boats were lost with no known cause, this was another!
