Default Stayed 40 days at a milkcow

Hello all!

Patroling the caribean sea with an IXC I ran short of fuel
and met with U-460 west the canary islands.

And stayed there from Jan 9 to Feb 19th 1943! Is this a bug
or could this be changed in future as resupplying from a
milkcow normally took just a couple of hours and not a dozen
days.

Btw, I am using random-days at base. For my next voyage to
the southern Atlantic (GQ) I`ll set the days spent in base to
1 day as I am expecting to need a resuply of fuel to come
back ;-)

Is there a Fix for this problem? Or is changing manually the
best mode?
Losing 40 days is a bit heavy for a thing which costs you just
5 hours or so. Is there a possibility to get back the 39 days lost?

A question to IX-type captains: I am running my 1st carrer with an IX
(IXC) and I am thinking to change the boat.
Important for me is the crash-dive deep.

Are IXC40, IXD1 and IXD2 better in this as IXC?

Already thank you very much for your help!

Best regards,

Christian

When you dock to a U-Tanker you spend automatically one (1) day. If you have damage on the boat you spensd an extra day per percentage of damage you have. The question is did you lose 39% Hull Integrity somehow before you docked on U460? (Something is telling me you did)

Sounds like he had massive hull damage.

Hello!

Thank you for your answers!

I had no damage at all. For this I am a bit wondering. A strange thing...
My hull was at 100%. Could it be because I am using
"random days spent at base"? (Milkcow is a base)

BTW I am using GWX 2.0.

Thanx for your answers,

Christian
