I'm at the arse end of England with only a quarter of a tank left. So what yourt saying is I have to drive my boat into any friendly port and it will auto fuel me without breaking the mission, meaning I don't have to exit the campaign.

Are you in a II canoe? or a VII? and what year?

probably your nearest port is Wilhelmshaven, later , the French ports will be available.

There is teleporter I have never used.
There is a game bug. Your electric engines will recharge without diesel fuel when you are on the surface.

Like already posted, visit a friendly port for re-fueling or use the battery bug.

Surface at all stop and crank the TC, your batteries will magically recharge. It will be a long trip home if you're on batteries.

:hmm: Arse end of England eh? Do you mean Cornwall? lol. You could always try running the Channel:p

Touchy touchy my friend Besides I always thought the arse end of England was Birmingham? Mind you you'd be doing well to navigate a u-boat up the Trent undetected so I doubt he's there

If you look around inside the sub, there must be some paddles somewhere...

If your past July '40, I think Lorient should have opened as a new friendly base to refuel at. Failing that a careful trip up the chanel is the next option. I tried the method of using Cherbourg as extra anti aircraft cover on the way up, waiting there during the daylight hours as there was a German destroyer parked there. You say about a quarter of a tank left, that should be enough. Unles you have already calculated the distance and range etc. Last patrol I made it back to Wilhelmshaven with 15 Km of fuel at 5 Kts calculated by the navigation officer :p

I can make it to Wilhelmshaven, so me and my crew are happy little seamen, I just was not sure if I could refuel there as this is the first time I'm playing on the limited fuel settings. I know using GWX that I can exit or dock at a port close by but this cancels your mission and I dident want to do that. So the procedure is just to sail up to the port and, poof!!!!, magic fuel.

If you go inside the base and turn right in the channel in the middle there is a band and girls at the end.
