Out of fuel and batteries

Running vanilla because my game doesn't like running GWX.
Im about 400 km out of wilhshaven and completely unable to move. Is it the end for me?
Also this happened because of the game, should I run with fuel turned off?

You don't have to do that.
Use ahead one third to transit to your patrol area and back.
Use ahead fast or flank to run into attack position or to intercept a convoy.

That should do it.
Also keep in mind the type of Uboot you have.
There is no chance to make it to Freetown and back in type II!

You can also use this mod :

Question is, how?

You can go to the US east coast, have a successful patrol and return in a type VII.

How does one run out of fuel?

There is a solution to your problem mate...order your crew and officers to take off all your closes and make a big sail...lol with favourable winds you will reach your home base, late but you will arrive...and all so a promise you the biggest welcome of your life...(even if you dont sink any enemy ship lol) not from the bdu and staff, but specially from ALL FEMALE PERSONNEL...
