fuel replenishment

[Sailor Steve]

Until you have TMO the rule of thumb is to always travel at 2/3 speed. You'll rarely if ever have fuel problems.

thank you Hylander, noted

Steve - right, will tuck that one away... I did start going down to Manila to see if I could refuel there - but then the anchor icon disappeared, so I am now hunting the area for suitable prey and will worry about the fuel when I am done and want to go home.

@Sailor Steve - Am reading Cruel Sea at bedtime.

Worst case if you need to, go to your SH4 in My Documents.

Open the Data Folder,

Then open the CFG Folder,

Then open the GameplaySettings.cfg file.

The 4th one down the list should be LimitedFuel=true. Just change the true to false, and you should be able to get back to base, or take that Pacific cruise you always wanted to.

You're welcome!

So what kinda pooch is that in your avatar?

[john9001]

i'm new to this game, is it correct that i can only re-fuel at a anchor icon ?

[BernieP2]

You can only refuel at one of the "Anchor" bases. That assumes your playing the game withthe realistic fuel box checked on the Options - Game Play menu. If you don't the fuel will last forever. You can also get reloads of torpedoes and deck gun ammunition at any "Anchor" bases.

The tilted anchor is your home base and you can get refitted there if you took battle damage. The other bases will only give fuel and ammo.

Hope that helps.

BTW in TMO the most fuel efficient speed is 'Standard" which is historically accurate. (Thanks again Ducimus!).

that is Maisie - A German Shepherd Dog ( Deutscher Schaferhund). She was ( and is) our beloved dog but we lost her to cancer when she was six years old, about three and a half years ago now.

Awww, I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm an avid dog lover myself.
I was devastated after my last dog passed away. They truly become full fledged family members and their passing is no less mournful. Three colleagues of mine all had German Shepherd dogs and all three died of cancer. That seems to be an illness peculiar to that breed.
The best thing to do is to get another dog. I swore I never would, but I ended up getting a Shepherd mix breed, rescued from an animal shelter.
I have to admit that I'm glad I did.

Awe, that sucks

I know, I used to raise service dogs for the blind and handicapped. We got a beautiful jetblack Shephard that was said to be a problem dog. He was friendly as any retriever was, and had a great temperment and personality.

What we found out though from observing him, is he was getting seizures, which caused him to turn Mr. Hyde for 1 to 2 minutes, and then they would stop. And once he came out of them, he would be utterly disoriented, and scared, and I would take up to 15 minutes to calm him down, as they frightened him badly.

Of course he was dropped from the program, but a sweet elderly lady took him, and he lived for about 4 years, but after a couple years, you could see the fits were poorly affecting his brain.

But now I have my own pooch, a 5 and 1/2 year old Lab Retriever, who isn't quite black, or chocolate. He's like the color of a dark roasted coffee bean. A real Ferdinand the Bull kinda guy. We did wilderness search and rescue out west in the Rockies, before I had to move back to the Great Lakes area. So now he enjoys going fishing on the boat, but he doesn't like Northern Pike fresh off the hook. They have teeth too! And sharp to boot!
