I used the teleport function once in game, but i don't regret it since it was one of my favourite sh3 experiences.

It was mid 1940 in a type II and was raiding in the firth of forth.

i'd sunk one merchant when i was picked up by a DD resulting in me losing one screw and both rudders while facing due West into scotland.

I managed to evade the DD and had to reverse all the way back to Denmark at about 3 knots max using only dive and surface to evade detection.

Once i reached occupied Denmark, i figured that in reality I'd made it, and a tug boat would be able to haul the boat back while the crew went back to Willys by bus. So I teleported.

a better result than losing a career, a la SH4 when you lose your career because you run out of fuel 50 nm from Midway.

So i think something ought to be done to enable you to bypass these sorts of irritating situation.

Say, a rescue call function when you reach a certain distance from friendly coast - even actually sending a tug boat to get you would be cool
