U47 Needs Help

Tazzie · 01-18-06, 07:44 AM

After attacking an Illustrious class carrier, U47 was hounded by destroyers and severly damaged. See following pics for details.

My question is can I make it back to base without the rudder which was blown off during depth charge attack? :hmm:

Got oars?

Hmmm, in RL I'd suggest running alternate engines...but I don't know if you can do that in SHIII. Failing that, when you've eluded your pursuers then 'warp' back to base.

Probably could have if we were able to control each shaft.

Theres no way to control each engine individually. Now, depending on how realistic you want to be. Once you surface you can just end mission and hit the return to base key and "warp back".

Maybe you can be towed.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Once escorts have gien up searching for me I'll radio BDU for a tow......... :rotfl: :rotfl:

Seriously I will just probably use warp.

Yep.....its not that realistic....but it beats throwing a perfectly good career down the tubes......because without rudders you are fish food my friend.....
