I love the new Belchen supply ship!

I do. It really makes the earlier patrols a lot more fun because now you can patrol the northern waters and go all the way to the Canadian en US coast in your type VIIb/c.
And visit New York before the US become hostile (dec 41).

I have a lot of fun patrolling against the Nothern convoys, best career so far!
Thanks GWX modders

It does make it easier not having to worry about fuel as much.

That's right, you will not always be the only one refuelling!

Jimbuna · 03-24-08, 02:31 PM

Just make sure you get there first or all the girlie mags will have been snaffled

Im currently lying off the coast of canada and have ran out of deck gun ammo and only have 2 torpedos left (after a run in with an unescorted convoy

). Can the belchan resupply my ammo and how do i get it to do that? Playing GWX 2.0

I'm kind of wondering how this works too. I'm using GWX2.0 and SH3 Commander. Also, does this count as another mission?

When you dock with it it'll resupply you with both fuel and ordnance. It'll also end your current patrol, and create a new patrol with a patrol grid of NULL and destination of your home port.

But warning, it will cost you whatever time you would normally be in port between patrols. Three weeks to resupply your boat! (I know its a stock issue...too bad it can't be fixed for a more realistic resupply period.)

You can use SH3Cmdr to adjust time between patrols.

Not quite true...but even better! SH3 Commander automatically sets the time between patrols to one day plus a day for each point of damage repaired, any time you're at a supply ship or milk cow. I'm not sure, but I think it also does it at friendly ports.

There's also the old "SH3patrol" tool that gives you a new patrol grid instead of "NULL".
I don't know if you can change the numbers spend in port for the belchen supply ship, since that one is new in GWX 2.0.
