Resupply mod request and function clarification

[ual002]

Yes! Ok, yes I'm familiar with the difference between 'end patrol' and 'refit' at all the friendly ports but I have NEVER seen a resupply ship moving or stationary. SO, essentially your saying I could find them possibly in a neutral port stationary and sometimes during patrols? Which patrols? Essentially I'm asking should I just check with my radio man more often now that I'm running Open Horizons?

I am currently on 'Coastal Water's and have tried to call resupply after the very first mission to patrol the Polish waters. Tried 2 times en-route to Kiel about 2 days apart and got "Captain, they've denied our resupply" both times. I just went back to port and ended patrol. By that time I took a lot of damage by a Swedish armed merchant after I opened up with a deck gun as I had no torps. Probably should have left him alone as he was neutral and heading to a neutral port. (I can guess calling resupply ship doesn't repair hull damage just like a port refit.)


By the way Trevally, you have some nice mods I've used before. And still do I think. Bravo. Lol, just checked, you did OHII. I'm an idiot.


Last edit. So tell me, since you mentioned the The Dark Wraith's Generic Patcher... when I make a mod folder with a new SH5, do I enable in jsgme first? All the mod lists all over this forum and I never see that listed.

Only some campaigns will have the resupply ships - Coastal waters is not one of them.

nice screenie and perfect timing Kpt.Lt. Trevally! Refitting from interned ships wasn't officially allowed, and when they had to do so, they usually did it over night under cover of darkness

Good topic for another research: by now we know in wich campaigns -and in which map locations- we can realistically resupply from surface units. Now we need to know the same for boat to boat refuellings.
