Provisions would be akin to that. You'd maybe almost never run out of food, but it'd still be in the back of your head.

:hmm:If I remember, I had a few times a low oxygen level issue during patrols in SH and SH2, when pinned down by destroyers for a long period. Depending on how long you were submerged or if your approach was totaly submerged (an approach to Truk Is. or Scapa Flow) and then had to wait out a depth charging I could see this area becoming critical.
 Agree here. As I have mentioned before this should not be a normal issue. However if you are running a commando raid or picking up pilots etc., it would play a role if the patrol was extended or not cut short because of the extra passengers. Again all depends on how the sim is set up on those "special missions" that would make provisions even come in to play.
Happy Hunting
