Default Run out of fuel...what to do ?

OK...my sub just run out of fuel before reaching friendly port. Is there anything to do ? Running SH4 with add-on UMB 1.5 and RSRD Campaign mod.

I need refuelling...I guess Milk Cows are not modelled for USN...:p I don't think sails are modelled either...

But my question is, is there anything I could have done except Quit to main menu ? :p

Well...I had about 50 % left when I did start to come back, mission started from Pearl and I planned to refill in Midway. Unfortunately I accidentally run Standard Speed instead of Slow with high time compression for a while. Ran out of fuel after passing longitude of Wake, coming from Coast of Japan..still way off from Midway.

I was quite surprised, since fuel consumption did seem to be way higher than in previous 1.4 RFB+RSRD games.

I just wish there was chance to send distress signal i game...with bit of chance to actually get help... It might be difficult to send a tug, though...:p

He was making a joke. AAA in this case stands for American Automobile Association. If you subscribe to AAA They will rescue you if your car runs out of gas or breaks down while you're on a trip.

Also in World War Two I don't think they used the term AAA for gunfire, it was only AA. The first A stands for automatic, and I'm pretty sure they didn't use that initial during the war.

Well....AA is what my wife recommends...and they have those *steps*. Heck, in EUrooppe we do have other means to get home... Lift or elevator..divided by common language...
