Returning to base

[wmes1]

When returning to base after a career misson,do you have to actually dock the sub or just make it past the entrance way to the base to recieve credit for "returning to base"?????

I think you got to be within 30miles from the base, i always dock as theres that ginger haired lass thats always waiting for me, after 60days at sea believe me shes the first thing i wanna see!

Concur get within 30 miles of your base and hit esc.

Negative, negative on that...it's 30 KILOMETERS!:rotfl:

But they're right; you don't have to go all the way back to base.

I always do, though; I like the harbor traffic too much.

As soon as I fulfill my patrol requirements I simply Exit and select Return to Base. Usually, I'm almost out of torpedoes and sometimes I don't have any torpedoes left because I always run into convoys and play haveck, sinking everything in sight. So don't get in my way. :rotfl: or you might accidently get sunk.

i always dock in the base, at the sub pen or outside, where the band us playing

but you can do it befere enter the base, at 30 kilometrs

If i hit ESC anywhere on the map (providing I have fulfilled my mission) an select Dock at xxxx......do I get the credit ?

"Dock at..." = credit
"Return to base" = no credit

Just to be a little more clear, the "Dock at...." must be referring to YOUR base. If you are at Kiel for example with a few of the map mods you may get one or 2 other harbours within the 30KM limit.

But as long as you get "Dock at YOUR BASE" you will get full credit for a round trip patrol.

I always dock at the Base, just of the hell of it
one time I messed up by leaving the comp running and went full speed into my last waypoint about 60 meters away from the subpens and it ended with heavy floodings and 29% of my hull left

yep...smoking an cigarette....its bad for youre health and of others

I tested this after a couple boring no tonnage patrols and I never got a renown bonus for docking at base

I always dock at base...always...I like it.

Okay, I'm curious. How do you guys "Dock at Base" after you have finished your required mission?

Get within 30km of your base, you'll notice a short pause in the game as it loads the harbor graphics, hit ESC, choose "Dock at XXXXXX", collect extra reknown for returning to base.

Just return to the dock where you left. You'll find your wife or girlfriend (virtual..not real ) waiting for you.

It's fun, because I left the port where I had impregnated one of the nurses and when I returned she had a baby...and threw that at my u-boat instead of the flowers....lucky Hans caught the blighter.
