Yes I see what you are saying, it DOES consider it a second patrol after you leave the milkcow. I do not know how to get around this as yet.
In SH2 we came up with a mod that would let you pull up next to the supply ship and your fuel and torps would slowly be restocked as you sat there without exiting or docking.
