Full hull repairs at resupply ships?

Flaxpants · 05-30-11, 12:39 AM

After a close call with some wasserbombes down in the Gibraltar straits in which I picked up around 30% damage on my hull, I decided to head for the Thalia in Cadiz ('41) for a much needed resupply.

Upon leaving the port I noticed that my hull integrity had been restored to 100%. Is this normal? Full hull repairs at resupply ships?

If I had to guess that would not be possible in reality. As far as I understand, the game treats a supply ship like any land base

Correct, the resupply ships were added into the game as additional bases, since IIRC this was the only way to mod them in. Consequently when you dock at one the games "sees" it as you ending your patrol at some base other than your home base. So you get another full complement of fuel and ammo, and any necessary repairs to the boat are made.

Quite right that Frau here say, but you can not do upgrades of the boat, existing platforms such as Flakguns or sonar.

Yes, there are some things that you can only do in your home base - those things cannot be done (or will not be done for you) when you dock at an alternate base or at a resupply vessel.

Well thats excellent news for me then as I love hanging around the Straits of Gibraltar, and the Thalia's only a couple of hundred kms away!

Cheers all.
