Refueling Question

[Reinhard Hardegen]

Is there a refueling spot near or on the way to the Americas'?

[Brag]

Yes, they pop up on the chart when they are available. It works just like the supply shipd

[Reinhard Hardegen]

Thanks, so if one is there you will be able to refuel and then go on with your mission?

Unfortunately no. You get a new patrol with NULL orders.

Unfortunately no. You get a new patrol with NULL orders.

Hsie's realism mod promises to fix this:

"12. U-Tanker Mod - by Stiebler and h.sie
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. No longer! With this Fix, you get only 1-4 air torpedoes, 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."

I don't know if this works. I have the mod, but I haven't yet visited a U-tanker - and won't for a while, since I am now playing a campaign in the Mediterranean.
