Requesting Resupply

Zedi · 04-09-11, 07:01 AM

Wish we could find a fix. In Open Horizons I also meet several times the milkcow but no options to refit.. very frustrating.

But being denied on resupply I think is not really a bug. Germans had big problems with the resupply as the milkcows and the supply ships were the most hunted ships at sea. I was reading about Drumbeat where Donitz decided to send the IX type subs to US just because they were more fitted for long travel and the resupply for these boats already was a major pita.

i am of the same mind.

Code:

289 were killed while serving on the Milk Cows out of an estimated
complement of 530-576 men. 
According to my sources the 10 'Milk Cows'  only went on 35 patrols 
(3,5 per boat), 3 of them were sunk on their  maiden patrol and 
two had only been on patrols for roughly half a month  when 
they were sunk.

There you can also find all the patrol areas and patrol-dates of the ten milk-cows.

Even if it's not entirely realistic I still wish the resupply option would work once in a while, only because it would be really cool to rendezvous with supply ships in the middle of the ocean.

Its working, but not all the time nor campaign. Here is my rendezvous with the supply ship in south Atlantic in the Distant Waters campaign.
