And it should also be noted that your home port can change as the war progresses, too. Start out from Malaya at the beginning of the war, and it'll change to Java within a month or so, then out to Australia as Java gets overrun.

Makes you keep an eye on the gas tank, it does... you don't want to be low on fuel and then have your base change, making you out of fuel.

If more ports had ship yards with dry docks for major repair and if the game had that option it would be great. But of course dry dock would still end ones patrol because of the time required to repair the ship or boat.

Webster,

Try out the Asiatic Fleet if you dont like the long trip to and from Pearl. Its closer to the action

not really, it just stops water leaks like a temporary patch would until you can make real repairs at base.

the hull integrity level is the damage we were talking about, most obvious is the holes you see in the boat with the external camera.

when you refit it fixes all your "internal damage" but not the external hull damage because that can only be repaired at the home base where you started your career from.
