Do your men ever get wounded? And mysterious deaths? | Forums

[Liddabit]

hey ya all!

I've been playing fairly aggresivly with aircraft and now in 44 its getting kinda icky. I'm losing some of my gunners and my watch officer to bullets. Darn them for not being made of steel.

Anyway.. I've never ever ever seen a man get wounded.. they just skip straight to dead. Very rude of them I think.

Also... after combat is over and I'm free and clear with nothing engaging me.. sometimes my damage control teams seem to mysteriously die! Then my watch crew.. then game over from to few crew. Whats going on when that happens?

Oh and one more question :O what does the Wound badge do? Out of morbid curiousity I've been hoping one gets wounded to try it... or get one for myself.. I seem to get shot alot and it goes blury and I hear AGHHhhh.. But unlike my men, I AM INDESTRUCTABLE RAAWR.


Edit: Dang it! It keeps happening! Out of the blue a few minutes after combat when repairs are going, heres a screenshot.

If I had to guess, I'd say something to the effect of "mass asphyxiation from carbon monoxide being fed back into the submarine"...?

If you have a battle with aircraft, then after a few minutes more will show up.

With your watch crew meter down so low will probably not get any warning.

After you defeat or fend off or otherwise survive an airplane encounter you should dive to 25 meters or more and stay there for several hours. (Obviously depending on your damage.)

Or a damaged battery gassing (chlorine) perhaps - though seeing your crew screen there's only damage to the tower! Strange.

Seems odd that actions happen without the Kaleun/player being told why. I enjoy SH3, but they do seem to have missed many things - thank goodness for all those mod makers and GWX team etc.

And yes, they do get injured sometimes, and the 'Medic' can help - just put him in the same compartment. I think you can give the 'wounded' badge to whoever you like, via SH3 Commander.

Is that a sub attack? If you are running GWX, there is probably no warning of a submerged AI sub that shells you ( shells are the only mean to model an AI torpedo ).

It says "hull integrity 96%" so i doubt it's GWX
mine doesnt include that.
Anywho, people can get killed by depthcharging. Just yesterday I had my two highly qualified petty officers in the radio room killed. If one of your compartments are flooding, moving people out will prevent such deaths but also increase repair time.

[Minoos]

So, Minefield?

[geoffwessex]

Doesn't make sense - the Crew screen above only shows damage to the tower - no flooding, no battery damage, nothing else, so surely not depth charge/minefield or some other damage. Crazy game at times, eh?

[Liddabit]

The hull integrity thing is SH3Commander, this is GWX 1.02.

This was in the middle of the ocean heading to America so no minefields.

It seems to happen after combat and I move crew. It insta kills all the sailors, then the petty officers... and then game over!

Its not enother plane either , my radar can detect them soooofar out. I wasn't being engaged by anything at all. ALl the times it has happened. I've never been hit by anything. Just magical dieing :P

oh and Re: the U-666, thats hubby's little fun with SH commander:P I originaly had the ltitle red devil icons on that boat :P

This is a bug I get with the IXD2. It happens as soon as the Watch Tower component is damaged, even lightly. Like you said, the watch crew dies quickly gets replaced and they die too.

From now on, until I can gather enough renown to change sub (I suspect it happens only with the IXD2), I do 3 things:
A) never assign the Watchman promotion. Its just too easy to loose that guy.
B) always check the state of my watch tower prior to surface
C) Save often. I don't mind loosing because I made an error, but this is out of our control...

If my watch tower does get damaged while I'm submerged, its simple, I surface (at time x1) while watching the crew window and hit Escape as soon as I see the watch crew outside. Then its Exit Patrol, Return to Base, thanks for playing, do not pass go, do not collect 200$.

I have been reading this forum for a while and there is only a handfull of people who got that problem. Anybody else uses the IXD2? Or maybe its the watch tower model on the sub?
