out of fuel

fgsr1969 · 09-12-07, 09:51 AM

i ran out of fuel 80 miles from port and was wondering if there is a function to call in for more fuel aas i couldnt see one anywhere on the interface. i believe sh 3 had this feature to call in the milkcow.

No Milchcows like in SH3, the Pacific Theatre did not have them. Check out this link:

Dive and continue on batteries. Depending on your sub and its condition (as far as damage and such), you should be able to make 80km at 1 to 2 knots submerged. Surface within a few miles and then choose the dock/ or end patrol options.

First off Welcome

As I understand it weather and speed are figured in the game for fuel economy. IIRC some of our members tested it.

There's nothing more screwed than haveing a good patrol and running out of gas within spitting distance from base.:rotfl:

But it makes you a better Capt. next time.

Good Luck and Good Hunting
