BBW or someone - you may be able to answer a question I have in relation to this topic - logically, if you get no credit (renown + medals) or recognition for having to refuel mid mission at a milk cow to ensure survival, is there any real point in traveling half way around the globe to patrol, say GR 55, as in my case? :hmm:
Alternatively, I disregard my orders, keep my attack radius local, wreck havoc on as many juicy targets as possible and when running low on eels or go go juice (or crew for that matter), scoot home and collect my medals and renown etc
The only alternative to the above that I can see, is to go as slow as you can to your distant AO, make it there quietly, do your 24 hour grid patrol and scoot home slowly again, while avoiding contact in case you get bogged down in a long drawn battle or end up running out of go go juice and becoming DD or fish fodder?!
(This is of course assuming that you do not have your own DIY logbook as in FIREWALLs case!)
Or am i missing something? (Which is always a very strong possibility!
)
What do others do with long distant patrol orders that may result in you either having to get your oars out or struggling home on diesel fumes?
Cheers:hmm:
