I cant freaking believe this!!!

[Task Force]

I just travled from Lorient to the south cape of africa and was told to go to a tanker there to refule... well Im there and there is no tanker! Im almost out of gas and am to far from Penang.:huh: Where is the tanker!

[Sledgehammer427]

kek, lemme guess, operation monsun?

i noticed the tankers usually disappear within a couple of days...

any other ports that are nearby to refuel from?

[Task Force]

Nope right at the refule spot.:shifty: dont even have enough to get halfway to the nearest base.:shifty: 3 hours of dodging planes and sailing for nothing.:doh: Tanker hasent shown up the entire mission, just two U boat tankers.

You need to read the mission brief more carefully and it tells you "when & where " the tanker are going to be:

BdU is setting up bases in the Far East. Your mission is to deploy to Penang on the Malay Peninsula via combat operations off of Bombay, India. Depart Lorient and processed via navigation points 1 though 5 and refuel from the tanker MV Brake on Sept 8th in grid KS47. BdU navigators have calculated that your boat will need to use a 7kts speed of advance (SOA) to arrive at the rendezvous point and still have fuel onboard.

Also while enroute you receive more messages about tanker ops i.e


On Sept 5th you get the following

@BdU@^Gruppen Monsun^&Op Immediate Traffic&[X]MV BRAKE IS TO PROVIDE REFUELING OPS FOR GRUPPEN MONSUN IN GRID KS47 ( 2930S 6000E ) AS OF 080001 SEPT 43 AND WILL REMAIN ON STATION UNTIL 110001 SEPT 43. X

[Sledgehammer427]

[Task Force]

Hell, Bay of Biscay is a happy trip to park compared to the Gulf of Finland in 1945.

No really, its that horrible.

Sailing in the most mined seas on the world, with skies almost literally full of sovjet planes.


But no one sails there anyway, but I'd suggest you to give a try there for the exprience

[Task Force]

Il put that on my (10 ways to get killed in a sub) travel guide, That is going to following the sea of japan in 1945.;)
