Full hull repairs at resupply ships?

[frau kaleun]

Correct, the resupply ships were added into the game as additional bases, since IIRC this was the only way to mod them in. Consequently when you dock at one the games "sees" it as you ending your patrol at some base other than your home base. So you get another full complement of fuel and ammo, and any necessary repairs to the boat are made.

Quite right that Frau here say, but you can not do upgrades of the boat, existing platforms such as Flakguns or sonar.

Yes, there are some things that you can only do in your home base - those things cannot be done (or will not be done for you) when you dock at an alternate base or at a resupply vessel.

Well thats excellent news for me then as I love hanging around the Straits of Gibraltar, and the Thalia's only a couple of hundred kms away!

Cheers all.

Yup, docking at supply ships gives you a fully-repaired sub, a full default torpedo loadout, and a full supply of fuel.

You cannot issue medals or skills at supply ships, and you will lose any that you earned even when you do finally go home.

You cannot choose your torpedo loadout from a supply ship.

You cannot make crew changes while at a supply ship.

Well,you can hand out medals,and take loadout (if you go into Basic cfg file)....but I guess this may depend, on the realism you're using, so I'm not a 100 in this

You can hand out medals if you are in SH3Commander. Changing your torpedo loadout would require file editing, but wouldn't that be doing so in "mid patrol?"
