Good Tips Ducimus! Thanks!
I for one have always been very conscious of my fuel, realizing that if I wanted to get the boys home to see the girls we needed certain amount of fuel for doing so.
Of course now that I'm in July 44 and tenders are showing up all the time as the allied lines advance over the Pacific, (the Marines just took Siapan yesterday!
) so having more places to refit before heading to home is allowing me to take on more and more assignments from HQ.
The only times I head home now are if I have damage to the point of batteries not reaching full charge or I have wounded that are taking a long time to recover. Also I don't go home unless HQ tells me too. (After sighting and reporting a contact sometimes HQ says RTB at your discretion.)
