Default refuel and life rafts

Ahoy captains!

I been in dry dock for years now because my dvd got trashed. Now i bought a new one and installed GWX 3.0.

Everything works fine, but i never see any life rafts from the ships i sank and how do i refuel at sea?

I sailed to a sub that was hanging out in the ocean, but how do i refuel? i put myself along side that sub, but what then?

Thanks guys, hope yu can help me about this

To refuel, hit escape and then "Exit From Patrol." You should see a menu item that says "Dock at U-XXX," or, whatever the name of the ship or submarine you're docking with. It should work within 25 miles or so of it.

At least, that's how it worked when I refueled at Vigo.

Spot on

You can replenish your ammo/eels and fuel but not carry out upgrades of equipment.
