Are there other ports where one can resupply? Or only supply ships (per schedule) and home ports?

Check the ports that are blue coloured.

Well that makes for a lot of options - didn't realize they were available for resupply. Thanks.

Early war... yea Ive shelled convoys... there not hard if you figure out what your doing...

Well, it would seem I have located an unescorted convoy (my sonarman doesn't notice any warships on the hydrophone). I am getting right ahead of it and will submerge, and let it pass over me and see if any of the ships are armed. It's possible they don't have anything, and if that's the case, I will shadow the convoy and wait for calm weather to do something to it which is done in prisons around the world on a daily basis.

If you are playing GWX you should find a supply ship in the Cannary Islands (grid DH) at the start of the war. And a supply ship near Greenland (grid AD) starting from October '39.

Well, I got in front of the convoy, cut my engines, ordered silent running, then dove to periscope depth. THAN the sonarman said he heard a warship!!!

I NEVER should have left Bernard in charge!!!

There usually is a big one in the center of it.

Keep you head down and let it pass. When it is at a save range, surface and go get your supplies.

I started my follow-up patrol from Vigo. I got the same torpedo loadout as I started with in Willemshaven. However, SH3 Commander also found it neccesary to take one of my crewmembers off-board and replace him with another. Curious how they managed to get him on that supply ship though.

I don't actually have SH3 Commander installed.

And maybe that one guy had been dropped off by a previously visiting u-boat, or had been smuggled there via land routes!!!

Sh3 Commander doesn't matter for your case. (in this regard) It just messed up the crew-shift routine I had established. That's all.

If you radio your status to BDU, they will certainly order you back to base. On the way, you can keep a sharp lookout for a convoy or task force (3 or more ships not previously spotted or reported), and if you radio in the contact report, and are within range of a German airfield, you MIGHT get the Luftwaffe to launch an attack.

Disguised as a gypsy, for instance. Funny there was only one, though. Two would have been easier.

:O:

Redundant as most posts and add to my post count. :haha:
