My crew fixed the leaks and (somehow) repaired things like the Flak gun, but no repair progress seemed to happen to things like the main ballast pump.


Looking from the external camera, the sub was not actually touching anything but was stuck in place, I tried full forwards and backwards, hard left and right rudder, the sub seemed to slide a bit but this resulted in lots of damage and injuries.


Also, when ever I attempted to use TC it just ended up causing a lot of damage even though the motors were stopped and nothing should have been happening.


So with no way to unstick the sub, repair critical things, or even use TC to see if the repairs would eventually happen, I see no way forward with this career. I could reload an earlier save but it's still only the second patrol so probably not worth it, better to start again.


I don't suppose there's such a thing as a console command to teleport the sub a few metres upwards? Seems daft being stuck at 55m depth.

sounds like you've had your rudders, shafts, and/or props destroyed.
ubi does not do a good job in communicating damage.
there are a number of parts that can be damaged and destroyed that are NOT listed in the repair screen.
when you experience this behaviour, your only course of action is to die with grace and then either re-load the mission and do better, or start a new career.
