Milkcow question: Where are they?

09-09-06, 07:49 AM

Been playing with the GreyWolves mod and when I go to the area that a milkcow is at I don't see any "milkcows" or ships. It just also me to dock at the milkcow and ship, but there's nothing in the 3D world there. Am I missing a ship folder or something or is this the way it's suppose to be? :hmm:

when you are in the area/location press ESC then "Dock at U-???"

the 'milkcow' is always moving at a speed of approx 1knot or so and it may just be that it is not visible to you in the outside view...if you are within about 30km of it, pressing ESC etc should suffice.

GOOD LUCK

I almost ran out of fuel tonite on my 17th patrol, and luckily there was a milkcow at some remote south african island! Saved me from getting stranded.

What happens if you get stranded anyway....? Rely solely on underwater battery power?

That'll work for 100km or so, because the only way to recharge your batteries is with your diesels!

Right, so what happens if you get caught off the US Eastern Seaboard... Just quit and start over? Or can you call in for help?

Basically you keep drifting until a DD or a plane sees you then you die.

Of course you could hit ESC and end the patrol but where would the fun be in that?

Hello i'm new here ( I'm from Holland, so my English can be a bit sloppy from time to time. Sorry for that)

I have a question about resupplying at a milkcow or a boat near spain. I'm using Sh3 with Grey wolves 1.1a with off course 1.4B patch

I was in dec 28 1940 end went to the resupply base/boat Thalia/Cadiz and docked there. But when i went back on the mission it was 30 days later. Isn't this odd? Is this the same with milkcow's? Maybe i need to fix something, but i don't know what.

Hallo, hoe gaat het ermee?

The best thing you can do for yourself is to get JScones SH3 Commander. It allows you to change days in base with the click of a button. After you have docked at the milkcow, all you need to do is exit the game, change days in base to 1, restart your game and there you have it! It only took one day to resupply. Just remember to change your days in base back to 28 or 30 or whatever you want normally. If you need me to post the SH3Cmdr link here, I can; you should be able to find it in one of the "Stickied" posts in the SH3 Mods Forum.

Hope that helps,
Tot ziens!

I've installed Sh3 commander and till so far it works. So when i'm back on the mission i save the game go to windows and set time on base back to 28 or do im have to wait until i'm back in my real home base?

Thnx btw
