Sub Nets?
December 19, 1941... Patrolling within 5 nm of Wotje Island, Wotje Atoll, Marshall Islands. Gun emplacement observed on the island and a stationary contact within the atoll at at 7,600 yards SW of the island.
Proceeded into shallow water at periscope depth south of the contact. Hit what seemed like a brick wall at the shallowest depth. Sustained a lot of damage very quickly. Maybe a sub net running parallel with the shallow water line? Looked at sub with the unit view and it seemed like the sub was entangled within a wall of net, mesh or something and there were round floats along the top like they were holding up a sub net? Are there sub nets and other items in FotRS UE protecting all of the Marshall Island atolls? As well as other islands and atolls? |

There are mine fields also, so definitely be careful if you plan on harbor raiding. Some of them fight back. The mine fields do "blossom" as time progresses. Not all "historical" areas protected by mines are covered in FotRSU. Subnets are used as "obstacles" in some shallows, to represent reefs and the like, but not all locations are done that way. It would be nice if the game could represent reefs better, but oh well... :salute:

Reload. try again much slower no TC, noticed I was set for 1/3 but making 0 Knots (on the surface) external camera showed the net under water. I now approach all atoll shallows with caution. Prop: anyway to "see" mines as you near them? |
Daylight is a requirement, and you have to be mindful of your depth. Depending upon which periscope you are at, either <Page Up> or <Ins(ert)> just enough to clear the shears and have a slight visual forward. Don't strain your eyes too much though. It is a bit like driving through fog. Objects appear like ghosts through the mists... You might only see the cables if you are too deep for the mines themselves, but the cable can hook your boat and pull the mine down on top of you. I do not recall if there is a cable scraping sound or not... If anyone experiments with wandering into a minefield, be sure and let the others here know :roll: ... You can 'see' the nets this way also... Setting the speed with the knot dial to One (1) knot can help, but don't forget about the current and sideways movement :o ... :salute:

My strategy is to wait till night and move in on the surface running over the nets if I am going to cut across shallows instead of using more time to run the channels. I have notice that this move is Submarine Class dependent. What I mean is that one class runs the surface shallow enough to miss the nets ... ...some classes however run deep and will ground you on the net. Some atolls have nets and mines. On one particular atoll I know exactly where the mines are and I will be testing the snagging cable scenario today and give a report. |

What about fuel consumption?
Is there any issue with it?After one month patrol it's still 99%! |
So, in my career for now i had 3 ctd, and always i think it was with aircraft in the area, i don't know if someone mentioned this already but just reporting this problem.

Thanks for the reply.I know and I don't use old saves, I've deleted the save folder,I play with limited fuel and I use the 4gig patch(I think that the patch has to do only with CTDs).I'm almost sure about my installation and maybe an accidental shell to Windows is the culprit.However, I tried a new war patrol and it works OK.The problem exists in my campaign.Should I start a new one or the issue will be fixed when back to base? |
