Running out of fuel never happens to me except due to battle damage (by the time I leak fuel, diesel is the least of my worries, shipping a boatfull of water more likely is ).

The real problem that would be cool to fix would be the inability to move on with a career EVER if you are stranded. While I am unaware of boats being towed, I know for a fact a few were rescued by other subs (crew taken off, boat scuttled). I THINK I read of one having some fuel transferred, though it didn't work well.

I have been sunk in game at least once where I miraculously was given a new boat, so the game clearly supports the ability to rescue you when sunk some random % of the time. Wish we could pry into that bit of code, and have the ability to call for help or abandon ship and get rescued if we are within certain areas of the map...

Was it SH2 or Aces of the Deep that you could actually abandon ship? (even though it resulted in your "death")anyways....It sucks when your so close and you run outta fuel because some Jap DD got a lucky shot on ya...Leo, would it be like the sub tenders in the game right now or an island in the middle of nowhere that you could gas and go?

If you like i can do some digging and see if i can find anything on subs being towed, crews being rescued, or forward refueling stations

Aces.

SH1 let you abandon ship, and be either rescued, lost at sea or captured, depending on location and luck. SH1 also let you be towed home if you were close enough, but I don't know of any real-life instances of that happening.

Would setting up "bases" for fuel only be more difficult a mod than say a button that gets pushed to send a signal for help ... and then you are miracilously back in port?
