Requesting Resupply

Campaign: Operation Drumbeat - Mission: U-BOAT BLITZ

Patrol Objectives: Completed
Mission Objectives: Completed

Message Received: From Bdu - Good work X No new objectives at this time X Patrol another area of your choice or return to base X

I am now low on Torpedo's - 2 Forward, 1 Aft. I request another resupply and I am denied. I set course for home base. Two days later, I encounter a German "Dithmarschen Supply Ship". Again, I tell radio operator to request resupply. Again, Bdu refuses my request and the Supply Ship is only 500 meters from my Starboard side. I have no option to Refit my boat.

This is very frustrating, very sad and not very immersive.

If I encounter a Resupply Ship anywhere while at sea. I would expect I should be able to Refit my boat in some fashion or another.

Previous SH releases allowed this. It is strange that SH5 does not.

Is this a game Bug?
Is it a known issue?
Can this be fixed?

P.S. After having a very fine dinner onboard the supply vessel, I killed it's Capitan for withholding vital war supplies and sank his ship with Deck Gun because the crew also refused to open cargo holds.

Looks like I am forced to RTB having no other prospects to follow.

My second mission requires I sink 300,000 tons. That may be several RTB trips.
