Ok who stole my fuel??

A bit of a comedy glitch, starting a new career in Jan 1943, I guess those darn french dockworkers have been stealing fuel again...

Seriously though, why have i got no fuel??
Im using SH3 commander 2.7 with the malfunctions & saboutage turned on, so maybe thats the answer but it seems a little extreme for a malfunction and ended my patrol before it even began.

Thank the "Green" people for that one. Your gonna have to use batteries the whole way your patrol area.

Crew1: But sir the gauges says its full!
Captain: But why doesnt the engines start then, who was in charge?!
Crew1: Bernard sir.
Captain: Ow.....dear god, I guess he did it again he took a piss in the fueltanks...dammit!

I have experienced a similar fuel loss of about 50% (or was it even more) in range when using the Sabotage and Malfunctions setting. That time I had to stop at a milk cow just to be able to make it to the US coast.:rotfl:

My guess is that it simulates either a unnormal high fuel consumtion or some sort of sabotage (perhaps drilled holes in the fuel tanks).

You sure you didn't put unleaded in instead of diesel

Have you tried covering the deck surface with Solar Panels? Of course, with SH3 weather patterns you might struggle for enough sunshine.

so, regarding flakmonkey's question, the answer is........

no fuel is a pretty good way to mess with the War
i've never seen this before , but having M&S switched on has certainly ruined your patrol this time!

I do hope he has not been waiting 4 years for an answer though....what gas he had turned to shellack a long time ago.

Things must be pretty slow when we've got the time to sort out unanswered questions from four years ago.

I do not want to be obnoxious or rude, because that would not be my style, but where TF do people find this s**t?
