Refueling Question
 

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

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

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.

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.
