Question on limited fuel

mcarlsonus · 04-02-10, 02:52 PM

I use Run #2 ("Slow?") for transit. But OP has a valid point.

For those who remember, SH4 had missions that were so unrealistic one simply couldn't do them as they'd run out of fuel before EVER getting there! SO, had to shut off the, "realistic fuel usage" option - and suffer the lowering of the realism percentage as a result. Well, now I'm in '41 and some of the areas I'm to patrol are off the west coast of mid-Africa - and I'm based in France. Am I going to run into this problem ... again?

Thanks again all ... I will run economy to get over there --- I figured as much, as I mentioned, but was kind've hoping there was some way to refuel while over there. OK!

Refuel options appear limited to existing bases OR having the radio kid call for resupply. HOWEVER, I don't know if anyone's ever HAD the, "resupply request" granted !

Well, anyone had it granted? Anyone? Bueller ??

It works in Operation Drumbeat and Black May. The milkcows weren't available till '42, so earlier than that it won't work.
