Need help URGENT

Kaptlt.Endrass · 04-08-14, 09:37 PM

So I was on patrol to post my next patrol post (see 'First Career w/ gwx thread) and ran into a MAJOR PROBLEM. I was charging my batteries when jumped by a squadron of Swordfish and stayed up and fought them off. However, my rudder was destroyed in the attack and I don't know if I can repair it. I am pointed towards my base, but my heading will take me barely within 25 km of the base. Can I just go ahead and try to return to Lorient or end the campaign?

Since you are dead otherwise, it seems the only option is to try and RTB.

If you have Stiebler's patches active, you could abandon ship. Maybe get picked up by a friendly. Or maybe not....

I've been looking for that mod but can't find it. Ther has been many times where I'd like to have abandoned ship and surrender, but...
Can you give me a name for that mod walleye? And I'll try the return. Hopefully it'll work out.

The mod you look is Stiebler4A_V16B1_Addon Patch and the forum link is http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...tiebler+add+on

you will need to install first H.Sie's Hardcoded Fixes

You could also try "End Patrol" from the menu.

Best bet is to wait until nightfall and try to repair it. I think if you go to end campaign while at sea you will automatically return to port. Some mods take this feature out though.

This is SH3. Why can't you just teleport home?
