Default More Noob Questions...

1) Why don't Received Messages contain the Date and Time received?

2) How do you find a Convoy using the Lat. & Long. from the Received Messages?

3) Is there a way to refuel my Diesel? At Sea with a Tanker or something???

4) What if I don't have enough Deisel Fuel to get back to a port?

1. I do not get the date or time either. I thought this odd.

2. Look around the edge of the map. You will see the first set of numbers along the top and the second set on the sides. Run an imaginary line down from the first number and a secondary line from the side. Where they intersect is the location. Usually you will see the red square with tail.

3. No. You must run at 1/3 or slow. It is not a race. save that for ships in sight.

4. No fuel and game over.

Actually you can get back to port if you run out of fuel.

But it will take forever and is kind of a cheat.

It seems the subs have been fitted with solar power rechargers

Run submerged till the batts are nearly discharged. Surface and holy moly they recharge !

Repeat...
