refueling single mission

[dranelesoj]

Hi, I have a big question: Is it possible to refuel torpedoes, on a mission like Curacao?, because I am a pund to sink the U-461 in both stick to it, and type the only thing he does when I go is to take a sprint and escape ....
Can someone give me a clue as refueling, or you can not refuel, I forgot to eat that I have met the objectives ... but I like to go on patrol, I love my crew OCOG ....
A greeting and good watch ...

perdonar que escriba en español,, pero traduje mi pregunta con el google y, la verdad es que no se entiende,

Pregunta:
he pasado con gran exito la mision de Curaçao, y me gustaria poder repostar en el atlantico norte, en el U-461; pero no lo consigo, me acerco a la vaca lechera..., me acerco tanto que incluso le he rallado toda el costado de babor, pero el siempre escapa de mi lado, ¿por que? , sera que una vez que se consigue los objetivos no se puede seguir en la misma mision indefinidamente...?, ¿es posible repostar y como lo consigo?

Traducción con el google:
Question: I have been very successful mission to Curaçao, and I would love to fill up in the north Atlantic, the U-461, but I fail, I get to the dairy cow ..., I approach so much that even I have grated across the port side, but he always escapes me, why? be that once the objectives are achieved can not continue indefinitely in the same mission ...?, Is it possible to refuel and how do I get?

Un saludo

Yes from the supply ship, which means you will try to find one like that, this depends of course on the year and what you are if you can get there...if it is for single mission I do not know, if you have the possibility.

It actually ends your patrol, and starts a new one from the supply ship. If you have SHC, it should do this overnight, or two days at worst (unless you are damaged, that adds time).

So it will calculate your renown and tonnage for the previous patrol, and then start you on a new one. The game treats them as two seperate patrols, there is no way ingame to do it otherwise.

I'd think, with some very careful editing of the career files, you could merge the results of the two patrols, so the log books would show only one.

The resupply ships were added to the game by coding them in as additional bases of operation - as far as I know this was the only way to add them. So in order to refuel or take on supplies at sea at one of the "milk cows" or other resupply options, you have to follow the same procedure that you would to return to any other base at the end of a mission or patrol: hit Esc and choose Exit Patrol (in the case of a single mission, it might be Abandon Mission or something like that). You would then get a choice between continuing your patrol/mission or returning to the nearest base, in this case the nearby resupply ship.

As Gargamel has already noted, doing so will effectively end either your patrol or your mission as the game considers stopping at a resupply ship the same as returning to base, which to the game means you are done with that patrol or mission.

To be honest I'm not even sure the option to dock at the supply ship would be given when playing a single mission, since if I remember correctly those don't start out with you docked at a home base, but plop you down somewhere in the middle of (or near to) the mission's scripted action. Since you aren't playing a career patrol, leaving base and redocking there or anywhere else don't really figure into the mission overall. The options you get following that procedure on a single mission might just be Continue or Abandon Mission (or Return To Base, with no base specified).

Either way you're not going to be able to refuel on a single mission, as the only way to link up with a resupply ship is to dock there, and that means ending the mission and your gaming session.

I didn't see the OP was referring to a single mission!

I'd have to think that resupply and refueling shouldn't even be an issue for single missions, as they are scripted to be shorter encounter's. I can see somebody scripting one with the intent of being an endurance mission, but then refueling would be negate the point of the exercise.

EDIT:

AHHA! Again missed the second half of the second post, thought it was all spanish.

As mentioned above, you have to end a mission to use a milk cow. Just pulling alongside of one does nothing. The milkcows would only be usable in a campaign setting.

Attempt at Spanish: Como mencionado anteriormente, usted tiene que terminar una misión de usar a una vaca de leche. Sólo tiramiento al lado uno no hace nada. Las vacas lecheras sólo serían utilizables en un ajuste de campaña.
