SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Out of munitions and haven even reached patrol !

SteamWake · 05-01-07, 10:17 AM

In my latest patrol I decided to stop and prosecute every contact I came accross.

I am now approaching my patrol area with a grand total of 4 torps 2 in the bow 2 in the stern.

Deck gun ammo is depleted both HE and AP.

Stern AA gun is empty, Bow gun has a few rounds left.

I already know whats going to happen, after I finish this patrol Ill be "assigned" to prosicute shipping at "wherever". Well cant meet that goal unless I sink 10 tons. While possible with the munitions left Ill have to be good AND lucky.

I guess what I should do is sail way over there to re-fit but the shortage of deck gun ammo is frustrating and the crew is not looking foward to the weeks at sea.

Do you guys ignore random contacts to reach your patrol areas with munitions ?
