What the?

IRONxMortlock · 05-26-07, 09:25 PM

I was just on my way back to Manilla on my first patrol in this game. Things had gone fairly well. 55,000 tons sunk including a Kongo class battleship. I was out of AA ammo so when some bettys turned up I crash dived and wasn't touched.

I took the porpoise class down to 200 feet, settled back into course and figured I'd wait a few hours for darkness before surfacing again. Upped the TC and the next minute I'm back in a dark control room, we're at 250' and then I'm dead!

What the? There was no "we're taking damage", or "we're diving too deep". No chance to stablise the sub or even figure what was going wrong. Perfectly OK one second, dead the next.

Very, very frustrating and not fun at all. I really don't feel like loading the game up again now if I'm going to be dealing with this situation repeatedly.

Nope, 3280 something feet beneath the keel.

It is the unexplained head bug, one flush and it is all over for you and the crew.

I don't know man, hope you saved before that little mishap

One of the crew leaned on the wrong lever?

This really does blow.

I was just trying to run in front of a a convoy to get into an attacking position. unfortunately I was spotted and shot at. Only the deck gun took damage.

I crash dived to escape and I couldn't recover from the dive. There were no reports of flooding or anything like that. It just kept going down and down until it imploded.

Even at flank speed with full up planes and ballast blown it just kept plummeting to the bottom.

Does this seem strange to anyone else?
