They row around in circles bumping against my sub, but no joy. Should I just leave them and carry on?

Noisy sods they are anyone would think you got a boat load of head banger's. Just go back one third let them by then get the hell out of there.

Thanks for the reply guys.

It seems a bit weird to me that they would bother to row back to my sub if they don't intend to get onboard... at first I thought that they were coming back for more supplies (one raft can't possibly haul several tons of supplies in just one trip) but they wouldn't do anything except play bumper cars against my boat, like as if they were trying to climb onto my boat with raft and all. I was starting to think that I had to give them the pilot-rescue treatment or something.

Anyway, I'll follow your advice and just leave them there.

I know this is a old thread, however i just ran into the same problem trying to drop supplys into the Philippians just before the capture of Manilla. What i found worked for me was to approach the beach within one mile at periscope depth. bring your boat to a complete stop, do one last search through the scope the service for the drop.

i tried approaching on the surface and i was not prompted to send the raft ashore however when surfaced within range it did prompt me when the crew switched over to diesels. not sure if anyone is still looking at this thread (I did) so i thought i might post what helped me.

Im using the latest patch of RFB 2.0

Indeed, I guess you're supposed to pretend they returned to the sub as in rl the subs waited around for the agent/soldiers to complete their mission and re-embark (Makin Raid)

If I had no Torpedios left I would return to base. I think there would be nothing worse then having a convoy or task force roll in and not being able to do anything about it but watch.
