Maybe a silly question...

OK so somehow I got transfered to Pearl. Started in Manila, been on a few missions, got a new boat after a very tough patrol, now I'm at Pearl.

Here's the problem.

I was given orders to patrol the Java sea. How am I supposed to do that...the boat doesn't have enough fuel! I wasn't half way there when I got down to 50%!

Am I supposed to cheat or just have no successful patrols?

I must be missing something lol

What you can do is stop at a port along the way and do a refit. You'll get some fuel and any torpedoes that you might have spent.

Sounds like a bug though.

Only port on the way looks like Midway, and its to the north!

Hmmm Pearl to Java sea....

Keep it at 2/3 and see if you can make it to a port... Remember you can always submerge and use electric, i'm pretty sure they recharge slowly even when out of diesel. Kinda sucks though.

Also make sure you're not charging batteries on the way.

Batteries are fully charged when I leave port. I never even dived, just set a course and started on my way, running out of fuel.
