Ever just lose a rudder?

[Torplexed]

Yeah...missing rudder. I had that one happen to me as well. For me it was like the Bismarck. A bomb from a Japanese plane knocked it out just as I was on the verge of leaving enemy airspace. Except instead of turning in circles like the Bismarck I was stuck sailing in a straight fixed line. A straight line leading nowhere. I eventually ran out of fuel somewhere north of Midway.

The thing that makes this worse is that if you were lucky enough to evade the Japs, you, in real life, would have been able to steer yourself home using your props to steer the ship.

Yup. Independent propeller shafts. Would be nice to have 'em.

Yes... but diferential power is not modelled in the game, may be the best way is to make rudders undestructibles and thats all...
