Stuck out to sea

byss · 06-04-07, 07:42 AM

Playing mission when i spot a task force so i sneak in destory 2 passenger ships and 1 destroyer when a second depth charges me oops missed him i take some stern damage come to find out now i can't turn so i figure i better kill him no aft tubes can't turn have to sit and get lucky finally i did 3 fore tube shots at 500 over kill but wanted to be sure

so i high tail it in only direction i can straight sit out in the middle of no where and speed up time so i can get the repairs done all done now i still can't turn so i look outside the boat no rudder!?!?!?!?!

what am i to do is there a way to turn one screw and not the other so i can turn that way or am i going to have to reload a save?

Check out the Repairs screen. If your rudder is destroyed, tough luck.

I had a problem with engines being destroyed

I was able to survive (I still don't know how I managed that) but was basically dead in the water.

Repair crew may be able to fix the rudder eventually.

Im not sure if you have to be surfaced to do this or not (similar to deck gun).

If it (the rudder) is truely destroyed well... your screwed.

Happened to me, too. No fix by repair crew. Had to load an earlier save.

I had this happen last night. From my first encounter with Fubuki class DD's and it seems that not only were they sleek and fast torpedo shooters but they also seem to have far better than average ASW gear compaired to other DD's I've seen escorting.
I went under 200 or so thinking I was safe but I heard them start pinging me and making depth charge runs. They didn't kill me but they beat up my stern tubes, shaft, and destroyed my rudder. I had ext view so I saw that it was indeed missing. I was able to repair the shaft after they left but the rudder wasn't even selectable to repair.
I was wondering if there was a way to control the boat by dropping one screw in and out of gear or giving one engine more or less power... I couldn't find any
