Default Out of torpedoes!!! What to do?

I ran into a convoy very early in the war, and used up all my torpedoes!! I still have a full supply of ammo for my deck gun. Should I stick around and use all that up, or go back to port?

ah, depends on what sub you're on, if you're in a type II don't even bother, i dont think the AA gun on the deck can sink anything.

But no, don't go unless you want to duke it out with the destroyers.

I have used the AA gun on a Type IIa (GWX 3.0) to take out Patrol Boats (don't recommend that one as you *will* take damage) and merchants. I've used it to take out a Tramp Steamer and one or two other types...maybe a Medium Cargo but don't recall. It took some time but it worked (and not even a torpedo hit first). I don't know if it was the upper hits (explosions) or the waterline hull hits (flooding) that did the trick because I wound up with a mix of both.

I've wondered about the ports. In 1939, what other ports can be accessed other than Kiel? I see other Blue names on the shoreline like Cuxhaven, Wilhelmshaven and something-munde....etc. Are any of these ports where you can dock and resupply? The ships and their schedules can be found in the F1 menu, but not ports.

Go home. Drink heavily. Visit a brothel. Get an upgrade.

You have earned it.

Good Hunting
