Range Problem in XXI

ElephantMemory · 02-12-09, 01:43 PM

Well I'm sure a lot of you also have this problem. But what the hell am I supposed to do when they give me a patrol grid that I cannot even reach with my fuel.

They want me to patrol the area of south africa. There is no way I can get there and back no matter how much I manage fuel on one tank. Is there a way to call in a Tanker or something?

...once one "moves up" (quotes intended) to the Walther-fuel boat, one must reset "Options" to allow for unlimited fuel. You're right: this monster will never make the tip of Africa, no matter how much porpoising one does or how low the surface speed maintained. I restarted a German career once so that I could avoid the new boat! It has other problems, as I'm sure you'll discover, in addition to fuel limitations!

it is simple enough to change the type 18 u-boats range with s3d to have the same range as the 9D2 has so why not just do that?

after all its an imaginary boat anyway so in this case realism isnt that critical is it?
