Adding bases for refuelling only?

Historically no US subs made use of the refuelling possibilities of Tarakan, Balikpapan, Batavia or Tjilatjap as far as I know, but the potential was there until they were overrun. Rearming would, of course, be out of the question without torpedo and shell stocks so perhaps Frederf's suggestion of simply shooting off the extras loaded would be the best practical idea to keep things as historically accurate as possible.

Actually Rearming would not be out of the question. You may only want to refuel, but if a Sub Tender was sailed to that location with the Tanker (Or actually any supply ship) they could bring torpedos with them. You don't need the actual Sub Tender to be there for it to work, the base is the only thing needed. But if you can sail fuel to that sight you could also bring torpedos. Like I said you may not want to do it that way, but it is a possiblity. There are several "Refit Stations" like this throughout the game.

If I understand correctly, historically the sub tenders (mmm) or other bases other than those very specifically dedicated to submarines would rarely have any torpedoes and certainly not a full load. During 42/43 some submarines did run with a 1/2 load. I figure you might have 1 or 2 MK14s on a tender if another submarine dropped them off due to maintance difficulties or simply as a couple backup if they were headed home.

Hmmmm......... I keep getting "Cannot modify mission while simulation active" when trying to save the modified chart.

Problem solved- had to deactivate all JSGME-activated mods first. Will test the result first and then post in the "SH4 Downloads" section.
