Not enough fuel to get home.

Da_Junka · 03-26-07, 02:53 PM

Im using GWX. and have wandered off a bit to far and just reilized I havent enough fuel to get back to Keil, is there anyway to refuel without breaking the mission.

Morts · 03-26-07, 02:55 PM

how far away from kiel are you?
you know you can just dock at the nearest firendly port and refuel and re arm there
if you can reach a port

Da_Junka · 03-26-07, 03:10 PM

I'm at the arse end of England with only a quarter of a tank left. So what yourt saying is I have to drive my boat into any friendly port and it will auto fuel me without breaking the mission, meaning I don't have to exit the campaign.

Are you in a II canoe? or a VII? and what year?

probably your nearest port is Wilhelmshaven, later , the French ports will be available.

There is teleporter I have never used.
There is a game bug. Your electric engines will recharge without diesel fuel when you are on the surface.

Like already posted, visit a friendly port for re-fueling or use the battery bug.

Surface at all stop and crank the TC, your batteries will magically recharge.

It will be a long trip home if you're on batteries.

:hmm: Arse end of England eh? Do you mean Cornwall?

lol. You could always try running the Channel:p

Touchy touchy my friend

Besides I always thought the arse end of England was Birmingham? Mind you you'd be doing well to navigate a u-boat up the Trent undetected so I doubt he's there

PS. Before I get any abuse from any Brummies out there, I was born in beautiful Kings Heath and now have to support WBA as a punishment

If you look around inside the sub, there must be some paddles somewhere...

3Jane · 03-26-07, 06:10 PM

If your past July '40, I think Lorient should have opened as a new friendly base to refuel at. Failing that a careful trip up the chanel is the next option. I tried the method of using Cherbourg as extra anti aircraft cover on the way up, waiting there during the daylight hours as there was a German destroyer parked there. You say about a quarter of a tank left, that should be enough. Unles you have already calculated the distance and range etc. Last patrol I made it back to Wilhelmshaven with 15 Km of fuel at 5 Kts calculated by the navigation officer :p

Da_Junka · 03-27-07, 01:03 AM

I can make it to Wilhelmshaven, so me and my crew are happy little seamen, I just was not sure if I could refuel there as this is the first time I'm playing on the limited fuel settings. I know using GWX that I can exit or dock at a port close by but this cancels your mission and I dident want to do that. So the procedure is just to sail up to the port and, poof!!!!, magic fuel.

Da_Junka · 03-27-07, 01:56 PM

Well here I am at s Wilhelmshaven and Im running on vapour, but my sub has not refueled, there is no aption to refuel, theres not even a petrol pump, what now?

you have to dock there and start a new patrol

Jimbuna · 03-27-07, 02:14 PM

You'll more than likely be given a 'null' patrol grid so don't be AALLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAARRRMMMMMED

Brag · 03-27-07, 02:19 PM

If you go inside the base and turn right in the channel in the middle there is a band and girls at the end.
