Did i teleport or do something wrong?

Coming back from my first ever patrol - 17k tons, not the best but im happy with my first mission - very low on fuel after trying to get to AM54 round the top of UK and heading back to Kiel thru the Channel - made it to 28km short of Heligoland and ran out of fuel - pressed escape thinking i would be able to refuel at Heligo and chose return to base - magically appeared in Kiel (350km away) with a load of medals and and promotions to give out - what happened.

BTW, i have a list of qualifications to choose from, is Radio the one for my Sonar man because i cant see one that says Sonar or Sound?

My next mission is the same patrol grid, which i dont actually mind but does this change - its the 19/9/39

thanks for any help

When you hit escape like that away from base and hit return to base, that is where you end up. Only problem is you get no renown for this. You have to be at least 25 km from base to get it.

Yes Radio is for sonar also.

Your patrol grid will change with time. Sort of random unless you have Commander installed where you can actually assign one to yourself.

Happy hunting...........

my renown has gone up 900 points though!!

For the patrol, but you do not get the extra renown for returning to base (30-25km out from it, or manually docking) I think it's only 100 points.

mmmmm, get 100 points by sailing up kiel canal on electrics only or do without and go on next patrol? :hmm:

Yes, the radio qual improves both positions in that compartment.

You dont get any renown for returning even if you sail in

The same will apply to GWX2.1
