Not enough fuel to get home.

If your past July '40, I think Lorient should have opened as a new friendly base to refuel at. Failing that a careful trip up the chanel is the next option. I tried the method of using Cherbourg as extra anti aircraft cover on the way up, waiting there during the daylight hours as there was a German destroyer parked there. You say about a quarter of a tank left, that should be enough. Unles you have already calculated the distance and range etc. Last patrol I made it back to Wilhelmshaven with 15 Km of fuel at 5 Kts calculated by the navigation officer :p

I can make it to Wilhelmshaven, so me and my crew are happy little seamen, I just was not sure if I could refuel there as this is the first time I'm playing on the limited fuel settings. I know using GWX that I can exit or dock at a port close by but this cancels your mission and I dident want to do that. So the procedure is just to sail up to the port and, poof!!!!, magic fuel.

You'll more than likely be given a 'null' patrol grid so don't be AALLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAARRRMMMMMED

If you go inside the base and turn right in the channel in the middle there is a band and girls at the end.

Bollocks to this I'm starting a new career without fuel limits, this is one of the crap things about SH3 that was cured in SH4 where you just nip close to any friendly port and get the option to refuel and refit without breaking the mission, which makes sence really. Shame SH4 in such a zhit state gonna be years before they debug that sucker.

Oh While your here, oh mighty big brain, can you tell me is there any way of knowing what ships are enemy, neutrals or friendly before you sink the buggers.
