[WIP] Resupply

[thruster]

great idea, heres my 2c worth,
milk cows, is it possible to actually place a stationary uboat at the RV point? my theory is to 'dock' to the stationary sub and lock to it, stationary, on the surface for a min amount of game time [hours] inorder to successfully be resupplied. if you need to break contact then resup stops and you are delayed before you can undock and move away.

this would make you sweat like a real uboat captain.

is it feasible, or am i dreamin??

I would guess that it would come to you

Status?
Estimate release?

[bigboywooly]

Is finished
Am testing now - taken me most of the weekend just to get to 1942
But will have to wait for that patch release ( today ) as its bound to have changed the one file I altered

So a day after the patch at the latest

[ERPP8]

That sucks because the patch is delayed

Any chance for beta release on 1.1.5?

No there will be a uboat in the area
Wont be sat still but moving at 5 kts
Tis a pity the game resupplies in the blink of an eye though
I know in SH3 you ended your patrol to use a resupply but you lost a day also - if using SH3commander
Be ideal also if you didnt get a full replen of everything
Age old sticking point that one

There were not "milk cows" - there were not submarines but only standard small tankers or supply merchants. In the early years of the war the III Reich had supply fleet to refit submarines and other German raiders - in fact, after Enigma decryption all these supply ships (located at open see) were found and destroyed.

In my opinion the option "end patrol" should be deleted - these ships (and milk cows in later years of war) allow only refit to uboat in fuel, ammo and food (morale grow?).
End patrol should be available only in German home base.

End patrol IS only allowed at your home port
Refit\resupply is instant at any axis port
