I Think I've been sabotaged. That or SH3 cmdr problem

Falkirion · 01-21-10, 05:35 PM

For some reason my flank speed button "5" isn't work anymore. I can hit it but the engines will instantly cut out.

I've been playing a bit with TC values in SH3 commander so I think messing with them might be whats causing it. But I'm unsure. Any help appreciated. Running GWX3 gold

Sounds like a malfunction/sabotage effect...

Sag75 · 01-21-10, 08:59 PM

Did you enable sabotage/malfunction option in SH3cmdr menù?

look for that

When my fuel filter needs changing I can only go slow. Sounds like fuel starvation.........

Are your refrigerator magnets mysteriously falling off ?

Falkirion · 01-21-10, 10:06 PM

Its enabled I believe. Can't check it right now but I'm confident in my memory.

Hehe. Must've been sabotaged in port before I left. Ah well. First sabotage of the war, I should probably be glad I lasted till Feb without one issue with my boat.

It has happened to me many times. I'd bet the house that you have malfunctions/sabotage enabled.

I make it a point now to check various systems once I'm clear of port so I don't sail across the Atlantic before I realize I have an issue.

Haha, same thing kind of happened to me (with sabatoge and malfunctions enabled) and I paid the price.

I was cruising along with my TC at 512 and suddenly came across a destroyer leading a small convoy (my watch crew was a little late in notifying me).

Anyway I was pretty close so I ordered a crash dive. I heard the "ALARM!", etc., and went to the control room view to await the impending depth charges that I figured were coming.

Unfortunately it took me a while to realize that my speed had went to 0 even though the indicator was sitting at flank.

And then I got blasted by the destroyer's guns! And that was the end of me.....

Dang malfunctions/sabotage!

Sabotage and malfunctions....yet another excellent characteristic brought to you by the one and only SH3 Commander

Falkirion · 01-22-10, 07:56 PM

Yeah. I noticed using the manual speed setting enabled me to get back to flank. Just a pain that my "Crash dive" button doesn't work. Means I'll have to be a bit more careful. Thanks for the help guys.
