how to rearm or refuel in the middle of the ocean

Hi all

Does someone know how to refuel or rearm in a uboat mission in sh4 ? Once, I saw a thread about this but can't find it anymore.

Thanks to all.

You have to go to a base and refit, when prompted. I think that they even have a refit ship off the coast of Australia (Perth) It also should have an anchor Icon if this is available at that time.

WELCOME ABOARD!

You'll find lots of threads on this and other game-related subjects in the SH4 section.

Hi Frame57

Thank you in taking your time to reply. But....

Once, in this or another forum, I saw a screenshot of this ubaot and this armed-merchant ship side by side and it seems that it was rearming and refueling this uboat. Plus, they were attacked by US airplanes,

So, I supposed that uboats could be rearmed at sea.

I have never used that ship. And it would only be in the expansion pack for SH4. If you are playing that now see if there is an anchor Icon in the Indian Ocean and steam to it. When you are in close proximity to it, it should allow you to refit for fuel and torps. Also you can command other ships to intercept convoys. Click on those on your Nav map and you will see what I am talking about. If you do this right you can watch them take on a convoy or even a task force. But you have to be in the location as well. Explore with it and have fun...

no re-arming while at sea that Im aware of.

You must make it to a friendly port.

I thought so too and unless I am nuts while playing a U Boat I saw an anchor Icon off the coast of Perth in the IO. And dang if it was not a supply ship of sorts and you could refit there. But it is not always there....
