Patrol Grid: NULL?
 
I got orders for Patrol grid NULL. Does that mean I'm supposed to steam over to my new port?

Did you just resupply at a milk cow or non-home port?

If so, then BDU has not assigned you a new patrol grid, so you start this patrol as you wish.

I'd steam over to the new port and see what happens when you finish this patrol.

Sorry, still new to the game so I'm not up on the lingo. What's a "Milk Cow" (aside from the obvious)

Obviously, you've never been to Signapore!

J/k :D

A resupply ship stationed at various ports or trans-Atlantic locations, designed to allow the subs to extend their patrols.

The game though, treats these as ports, and SHC will reduce the number of days you spend at them, but you are forced to start a new patrol.

So if you went out on patrol, and the base was changed, yet you returned to the original port, it would be treated as a 'foreign port'. So travel to the new port, and see what you can kill on the way.

Were you able to to change anything on your boat at base before you sailed?

No I wasn't so I set sail to Brest. Took the long way around Scapa just for kicks, ran into a convoy, had a little fun. Everything is working great now. I didn't know I could resupply mid patrol without a mod or something.
