-- What the *** are those SS rounds? Just flares? Why would a U-boat need flares? It loves the dark. --
<shrugs> Never used them myself ...
-- Also, is it of any use at all if I keep on sending my patrol and contact reports like a good boy? It just keeps getting me a "keep up the good work". --
Not much good at all, other than immersion. Supposedly if you send a contact report in range of a Luftwaffe base, Goering's boys will wander out and try to steal your thunder by bombing your contact, but I haven't seen that myself. I never send contact reports.
-- So Can I just go into a friendly port and reload? --
There are a couple of options, assuming you're running GWX. If so, re-supply ships will appear in various neutral ports (Spanish ports, for example). Look for the names in blue inside of the ports. Just navigate close, hit escape and choose the docking option. You'll be able to refuel and rearm, but you can't do any upgrades. The other option is the milchcow supply subs, which will appear at various locations later in the war. They work the same way as the resupply ships, just out at sea. In either case, make sure you complete your assigned patrol area first, or else you won't get the renown bonus for the patrol completion.
