Repaired but going down
I am playing the game again after 1 1/2 years. I have some experience with the game. So, my sub was hit by aeroplanes. I repaired everything and i surfaced by blowing the ballast. It was the only way. Now that i dove into periscope depth, my sub just keeps going down. No way to go up or to maintain depth. Could someone give me some help here? I don't want to abandon the game again. I use the grey wolves version.

Dive planes?
Sounds like both sets of dive planes are destroyed. Have a close look at the equipment status text for the forward and rear compartments on the crew page, might have to scroll the list a bit with the little triangles in the corner.
I've never had both front and rear planes destroyed, I vaguely remember losing one set just slows dive times. Maybe try reverse to drive the boat to the surface? A bit of a long shot I'm afraid. Otherwise time to blow ballast and try to get home on the surface. Or surrender... I sometimes get very sluggish engines or periscopes stuck, which may be the HSie mod or may be a bug! Sometimes saving the game and reloading clears these. Another thing to try. |

It’s rare to be attacked by a plane and not have a leak in the pressure hull. I never recommend attacking or waiting to be attacked by a plane. It’s just not worth it.

I never said that i attacked the planes or that i waited for them to attack me. I was just caught off guard. If i return to Kiel without having patrolled at the designated area, will i be able to get a new mission?

Yes, you will... Just in case, patrolling the designated area is to gain some extra renown. If you don't, you won't get penalized or anything like that.

Thank you, i'll try what Hooston suggests and if it fails, i'll return to base. If i am not attacked again, that is.
