Time spent in port

I let the sim decide how long I am in port. More realistic .

And I'm too lazy to decide that by myself.

As a supplementary question, if you dock at a resupply ship or milk cow does Commander automatically recognise this and set your stay to one day? I am rather confused on this issue as the documentation says:

"Ability to recognise when docked at a milk cow or other friendly base and automatically adjust the number of days spent in base to 1*;
SH3 Commander automatically recognises if you are docked at your home base or not. If you are not docked at your home base (ie docked at a Milk Cow), SH3 Commander will change the number of days spent in base to 1 without you needing to manually change via the SH3 Options screen. You can click on the label to toggle status. *Note that extra days will be added if damage needs to be repaired."

If anyone could clarify this it would be much appreciated.

Yes CN, if you dock at a milkcow or a base not your homebase, you will spend there 1 day, but only if no repairs needed for your sub. If you need repairs, well, the time you spend there will be longer.

peh... i set it to 1 day. the boys stay close to the harbour couse they know when its time to leave i leave... even when some are still on land.
the harbour personel knows "first the DG ammo then fuel and finaly repairs"

I set Commander to the variable option. I've spent a whole month in port, but once in a type II it turned me around in 5 days.

I think that's the best option...
