Milk Cows

Biggs[CV] · 07-15-08, 10:58 PM

I'm running GWX 2.1. Can we resupply our fuel, deck gun ammo and eels from the milk cows? If so how?

Just get close to them and exit the sim like you would at home port. The option to exit will say Dock at U-(milk cow sub number here). When you restart the sim, you will be resupplied and ready to leave the milk cow.

If your using GWX you should only lose one day, but an extra day will be lost for each % point of damage also, if you have any.

lo mate.

i recently docked at a milchkuh and it took a lot more than a couple of days off me.

im using gwx2.0 (till my war is over!!)
commander :with the option of days in base set at 40.

is there something wrong or me having the 40 day at port time.

im not sure exactly how many days later i resumed my course...but i thought it was well into the next month?

It should be automatically 1 day....are you sure you hadn't taken damage ? :hmm:

I'd like to bring up a point: the extra day to repair each point of damage is probably unrealistic, as the type of damage we're talking about couldn't be repaired by another submarine or a supply ship, but required a dedicated repair facility at a naval base. I don't know if it would be possible to make a distinction between supply vessels and port facilities, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Also, I apologize for not bringing it up back when the mods that allow milk-cows were in development, but I only just thought of it now.

If you use SH3 Commander, you might try setting "days in port" to 1 before beginning patrol if you're docked at a Milk Cow. Then set it back before the next patrol.
