Hull Integrity?

[Alky]

I'm new to SH5 although I've played SH4 for some time. On my first patrol I've managed to go for a refit to my home port with a hull integrity of 6%. I'm thinking on a scale of 0 - 100 that 100% would mean like new condition and 6% would be close to sinking.
It appears I'm not able to end patrol as in SH4 and get my hull repaired. What does a Captain do in this case, go back to the war with a near non-seaworthy boat?
:cry::hmmm:

You can end patroll and repair your hull ... just go where is your base.... so go back at Kiel in your case... there you can end the patrol

Actually I started out from Wilhelmshaven and returned there. In SH4 you could tell which was your home port by the tilted anchor, in SH5 they are all tilted and I don't see anything different among them to indicate that it would be a home port (?) :cry:

The home port has an icon with an nave on it... a blue one.. check careful the map... do you use a map mod or you play with the one by default?

So calling for a refit/refueling won't repair hull damage

do not think so... to repair the hull take proper place and proper tools and pieces... i not think that can be done i a open sea or in a simple port in real life

I don't know what a nave is but I found a blue diamond shape with a small boat in it at Lorient. I'm guessing that's where it is. A very long way to go with an iffy hull :haha:
Thank you for your help :)

I put my VIIC into hyper-drive and went to Lorient, they agreed to fix the hull and I've put out to sea again :DL
Thank you Stoianm :salute:
