sub devices not repairing!!

Will this be adressed in the next patch? Whenever an IJN sub loses his torpedoe tubes due to a near miss it is the same as it would be sunk as the tubes never ever repair again.

The Allied tubes will repair when the sub will be upgraded, though Japanese subs never upgrade! [8|]

thanks for any response!

I thought the 'devices won't repair if Sym Dam =0' was already fixed by a patch.

Wot version are you on?

The work around was to sail the sub until it accrued a point or two of Sys Dam then put in to port to repair.

I´m using 1.804 and can´t get the tubes repaired. Never heard of your workaround though. Will try that one!

Thanks

I think there is still a problem when the damaged tube is the first system. I've got an S boat in 1.804 vegetating in port waiting for upgrade to repair its tubes. Having sys damage didn't help.

hmm, anyone of the Matrix guys who could answer if this is on the fix list for 1.805?

Thanks

It's always the first torpedo tube set that doesn't seem to repair..and sys damage stays at 1. *However*,tubes do repair and work afterwards even they still show as red as nothing happened...and others have confirmed that subs indeed fire from those tubes that are seemingly destroyed/damaged.

Thus, if they reload, you can keep using them normally.
So, main effect of it is only 1 pt of sys dam that doesn't repair and graphical annoyance of having one of tube-sets as red.

Just checked the 'whats new' file with the patches and found this under the 1.8.0.2 patch

Item 36 - Fix SYS damage error in Ship repair when a damaged weapon is present

The Ship Repair routine is only called for ships with at least one point of system damage. A check in this routine is intended to ensure that that last point of system damage is not repaired until all weapons damage has been repaired. However this check was incomplete, resulting in ships being “fully repaired” while still having damaged weapons – which would then never be repaired. Extended the existing check to specifically verify that no weapons remain damaged.


Could Don or Joe check this out please[&:]

This is correct...[;)]

Im going to bump this thread and ask a question. So the patch fixed the problem with weapons not being repaired, they are now repaired, but it doesn't show as repaired on the ship display window? If so, then I understand you can tell if the weapon is repaired by the fact that you are able to reload?[&:]

Should be that if you can manually reload the tubes, they work (by clicking "Refuel at port" or whatever the button was when your Sub TF is docked..my memory eludes me)...[8D]
