Docking

airwolf48453 · 12-31-06, 02:31 PM

I have went on patrols and used up all ammo and stopped at a nearby base to refuel and resupply the ship and when I save it i said dock at that base but when I start the mission again from there I am still empty? How do you resupply yourself without going all the way back to point of orgin.

Welcome to the forum.

Normally if your within 30km of base or a milk cow your okay it should let you dock at xxxx.me being me I dock on a milk cow within 300m in dock right in there,hit esc and it says dock at xxx do what you need to do start mission again full load boat repaired etc.

thanks I figured out on how to dock at the base . I haven't run into a milk cow yet. I have went by a neutral base it was green so I thought but then they fired at me? I was dazed and shocked I never expected that from a green colored base.

You must have sunk a ship of that country.

The neutral countries would inter military equipment and men. They were not always welcoming to warships hanging out in their ports.

Was it an american base??? I had gone to a US base before they enter the war and they gave me the full gun salute. Spanish, Portugese, Turkish and other bases are OK though.

Hi and welcome. If you calculate your journey and think you will need to re-fuel then press F1 and search for 'Re-supply info'; this will give you the location of a re-supply vessel ['milk cow'] and the dates it will be there.

The date is 22/09/1939 and the time is 10:02. I am at Las Palmas within 200 meters of the Corrientes. When I press the escape key, I see options, save, continue and exit but nothing that indicates a docking option. Selecting exit just takes me out of the patrol. Am I missing something? Do I need another mod?

BTW, the Corrientes looks dead. No signs of a crew on board and there are no markings to confirm that it actually is the Corrientes.

Running SHIII 1.4 (out of the box) with GWX 3.0

Thanks

If by SP you mean single player mode then yes. Does docking require multiplayer mode?
