Refuel/Rearm hull repairs vs. ending a patrol?

missleman01 · 11-05-07, 11:42 AM

Howdy,

Im currently commanding S-40 in summer of '42. I recently had an engagement with a task force near Lombok and took on some hull damange and lost both scopes.

I have returned to Freemantle to repair the scopes and hull damage. I do not want to end the patrol because I didnt make it to my Java patrol zone with the damage after the engagement and wish to complete my orders for once. Since hull damage percentage is not viewable, im concerned about simply rearming and refuelling. Will that fix my hull damage or will I be going back out to sea with a marginal boat unless I end the patrol?

Tenders (striped anchors) will not repair hull damage.

I believe the only way to get hull damage repaired is to return to your home port thus basicially ending the patrol. Someone please correct me if Im wrong.

There is supposed to be some improvements as to representing hull damage in the upcoming patch allowing you to make a more informed decision.

I'm pretty sure that to repair hull damage you have to end your patrol and go in to base. Your damage control teams will repair any minor damage to your hull, but for more in depth repairs, it's going to need the team at the yard to do it.

Yes, you must return to your home port and dock--ending the patrol.
