you could always use the teleport back to base when u done your mission. but yeah u need to upgrade to the IX sub

Yeah, you need a IX boat. Check the F1 key and see if a milch cow is available along the way. Use that if you are stuck with the VII. It will be tough with the VII. Heck, even the IX only had about 2 weeks of operational fuel when they arrived. Then they had to go home on what fuel they calculated would be used to make it home

Is there real life accounts of uboats running out of fuel and what did the captains do when it happened?

Perhaps ran out of fuel if a bunker was breached. I have not read about any of this happening. I have not read of any just plain running out because the engineer was not watching it. All the men knew that they had to depend on each other and all men at their post needed to be vigilant. You would be a real Bernard if the fuel was allowed to run dry:rotfl::rotfl:

Hey, lets start a 'My IX is better than your VII because' thread

. Nah, been there and done that

Thanks AVG - yeah it makes sense that they would not have gone to an area that they couldn't get back from. Would they have been given an order like the one mentioned? I doubt it.

Oh and my VII is better than you IX :P
