I've Got Gas !!!

Reverie · 07-02-07, 05:18 AM

So we've accomplished our assigned patrol, and later spent every eel, and a portion of our 88mm shells, all this within three days range of base.
Getting renown from successfully reporting contacts is understood, but just how much renown is awarded ? And is renown awarded for multiple reports on one patrol ?
With most of my fuel supply available, I want to know if it's worthwhile being a convoy spotter / weather boat ? (The weather boat aspect would be simply roleplaying, but we've got to have fun.)

If you're just 3 days away from your home port and it would be only a matter of refueling and rearming then going to your home port and retrurning to your patrol area wouldn't even take very long. Everything else wouldn't make much sense

GET BACK ON SEA! WHEN YOU GOT HALF OF FUEL YOUR ALLOWED TO RETURN!

IF YOUR OUT OF TORPEDO'S AND SHELLS THEN RAMM THEM IF NEEDED!

you got to be at least a week on sea

Has anyone tried that ? Surely (hopefully) it doesn't work, sending Contact Reports in Home Port. It seems that certain parametres have to be fulfilled before a successful report is sent. Possibly they are dependant on quadrant / locale, proximity to unfriendlies. I hope the Contact function wasn't left totally open-ended...
