Has anyone successfully tried to resupply at sea?

Every time I ask my radio operator to call for resupply he says that request is denied. I wonder if it's possible to do on the first place or another disfunctional feature ?

I've yet to figure it out myself. Even when sitting outside the harbor with the dock icon flashing it's un-available lol.

There's are Supply Zones defined in the Operation Drumbeat campaign files.
Perhaps you have to be around there somewhere to call for supplies. I'm thinking the game will show these on the map when available (?)

how did you open up that map???

hmm those resupply zones are very far from home waters, i'm betting they are marked for you when you will be required to patrol near those areas.

not likely to need resupplies when close to england, it takes only a day or 2 to sail there from home ports.

Use the SH mission editor. I don't have SHV but i assume it comes with the game as a mission editor came with SH's3&4. Should be an option for it in the windows Start menu within the SHV file.

By the looks of things, you load up specific operations rather than the scripted or random map layers of earlier titles.

Sorry if this info is completely wrong for SHV!

i think you must be close there and ask for resupply.everyone tried?

what year are you in, I found early in the war always a no. 1943 onwards never get turned down for resupply. Meet up with a sub in the mid Atlantic and refit. Instantly though.

I was hoping we have to load the torpedoes ourselves then hook up the fuel hoses and fuel up while scouting the area for enemies now and then we might get attacked by aircraft or a British submarine has found us I was hoping for to much I know. So its instant refit. Well at least they added resupply in the game.

You need to be in a specific campaign (Drumbeat and Distant Waters).

When you talk to your Flotilla CO to get your patrol orders, your first one will be to rendezvous with U-47something. From then on you can resupply when near that objective marker.

Like its been said a thousand times before, you need to be in a specific campaign to resupply.
