Fuel problems

Phobus · 01-12-08, 10:55 AM

Greetings,

I was well into my second patrol off the Western approaches and a check with my Nav told me I had 9360kms duration at my present speed, which by trial and error on my boat is 7kts. Shortly after, about an hour, I had to dive to attack a convoy and when I surfaced an hour or so later my Nav told me I had 936kms duration! In addition my fuel indicator was at zero.

As I had insufficient fuel to get back to base, I had tried to run submerged and surfaced stationary to recharge batts, but on my 3rd or 4th surface I couldn't clear the carbon monoxide guage. I had to ditch the patrol and go back to a previous save where I noticed that my fuel was again at zero. Back to an even earlier save got me the same result.

I don'tknow what might be happening here. Any ideas? I did finish the patrol from an earlier save but lost a Southampton CL that I'd bagged.

What version are you playing? What was your departure point? Do you have SH Commander installed? What other mods?

I'm playing GWX 2.0 with Captain America's Icons and 16km atmosphere mods installed. Not using SH Commander.

Scratching head, someone with more brains will show up.

Sounds absolutely freakish to me.

Need to know what boat you are sailing.

Also need to know if you've taken depth charge damage.
