GWX Milch Cows

[lucasner]

I read in one of the downloads that if you dock with a Milch Cow in GWX 3.0 that you will loose all your tonnage and Renown for that mission up to that point. Is this true or did I read it wrong?

There's a fix for this in the hardcode fixes by h.sie: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=174225 :up:

U-Tanker Mod - by Stiebler and h.sie (V15G or later)
Everyone complains that, when you dock at a U-tanker in mid-ocean, you lose all your current renown/tonnage for medal purposes, you get a full refuelling, full repairs, full torpedo load-out and you lose the patrol grid which BdU ordered. And then you start again from the tanker a month after you docked! (unless using SH3Patrol or SH3Commander). No longer! Now you 'pseudo-dock' at the U-tanker. When you are close enough, you press ESCAPE, then 'Exit Patrol', just as if you were planning to dock. However... when you are asked 'Continue mission' or 'Dock at U-463' (for example), you click on 'Continue Mission'!!! *Now* you get 1-4 air torpedoes (loaded only into the first 4 slots of the fore internal reserve - so make sure there is space enough!), you retain the patrol grid details, you receive some repairs to your hull-integrity (but not to equipment) and you receive a fuel upgrade, of up to 30% of the full capacity. Unlike conventional docking at a base, pseudo-docking is only possible if there is no 'heavy fog' and windspeed must be 10 m/s or less. After having (pseudo-)docked at an U-Tanker, you can (pseudo-)dock again after 2 weeks. Also, you can only pseudo-dock at U-tankers, not at surface tankers (eg Brake), nor at land bases. You can still choose to dock in the old way, if you wish. If you want this mod to also work with surface tankers, these must be renamed e.g. from "Brake" into "U-Brake".

You dont lose tonnage or renown
Game sees it as that mission is ended and your new patrol starts you from the milch you have docked at with no patrol grid ( as no renown in GWX for reaching or patrolling said grid not an issue )

A much better way is use of the link posted by K Cook :salute:
