Breakdown Cover For U-Boats?

Penelope_Grey · 06-05-07, 10:55 AM

Ok this may sound laughable but true! I attacked a small passenger/cargo on the surface with my deck dun. In the end I twirled the boat around and put the stern tube at him. Doing this, I midshipped my rudders and stopped the engines. So there we go, kapow! He is sinking: yay!

I goes to move off at ahead 1/3... nothing. No engines! I was like, oh crap. I waited for what must have been 3 minutes or so, till in the end, I got annoyed and I hit D to dive. When the boat was under far enough, the electric engines engaged at 1/3. I stayed under for about a half hour, then surfaced and the diesels then worked thank heaven.

My god, I never had that happen to me before, I was only on stop on the surface for about 2 minutes, if that! Then when I tried to start up at 1/3, like I say, nothing!

Am I alone, or does the U-bootwaffe need AA cover?:rotfl:

A bit of random sabotage perhaps? Bernards relatives in the engine room?

I've had something like that happen to me, i think we all have. It's when I find myself in one of those 'things you've yelled while playing SH3 moments'.

it would be fun to have a random failure now and then, what the damage crew CAN repair. I dont mean sabotage, just failures.

This is harsh.

Try it and see if it happens to you, stop the u-boat for 2 or 3 real time minutes then try and start it again.
