refit or end patrol at friendly base?

[Joe S]

I took some hull damage (68%) and made it to a freindly base in the Solomons for a refit. The hull damage was not repaired. I made another sortie and came back to top off my fuel before heading back to Pearl Harbor. However, due to the Hull damage, I wonder if I should "end the Patrol" at the friendly base so as to get the hull damage repaired.Can I get the hull damage repaired there or do I need to make it all the way back to Pearl? If I end the patrol at the freindly base, I assume I start there for the next patrol, correct? Thanks! Joe S

Late war you can be based at Midway, in TMO 1.7, or 1.8 beta

Gung-ho, is one thing, risking Boat,& crew. Bad Capt.:dead:
BTW, refuel does fix scopes.

I think you can only end your patrol at your home base, but can refit anywhere. Refitting will repair all damage except hull damage and ruptured fuel tanks.

I refitted at the base and it did NOT result in repair. I am not sure how far I can dive with the hull damage, so I would like to get it fixed before going into combat. I am still at the base so I could leave and come back and take the "end Patrol" option if that will fix the damage. Would like to know what will happen and if there is a downside before I do it. thanks, Joe S

only @ slanted anchor, home base. With 68% Hull you should be OK @ PD.
Save just in case.

IIRC hull damage will ONLY be repaired at your home base but other stuff will be repaired if you refit at another friendly base.

It's situations like this that make the game interesting(i.e. continue the fight or seek repair). Personally I'd head for the barn and get things repaired and get rid of any 'doubts' about your boat's performance when the crap hits the fan. Command decision time...MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!:hmmm:
