Re supply

[Madmike]

Anyone ever ' re supply' at friendly base while out on patrol?

I am on 10th Patrol from Wilhelmshaven and that took me though the channel where and encounter with a Torpedo boat KIA 3 of my crew.Then encounter with 2 planes sent some old destroyers onto me .So far I am ok but I may take the long way around England on my return and would like to top up in Lorient.
I have read that it is possible to re supply at other bases and was wondering if anyone has done it successfully?

Madmike,
If you are going try resupply why not pull in
to St Nazaire easy approach. No rivers or narrow
channels to Nav. I was embarassed on my last
approach I was looking for the spot were i left from
You know the bands and welcome party
I crashed into pier trying to make a sharp turn. ;D
Now I made a note on how to find it this time if I get
back from patrol 3. ;D
OH the boat did not sink but did some damage to bow. ;D

Hi Lane old chap,saw where you damaged your bow,making that sharp turn,I hate that when trying to get alongside a dock,and crew says "taking damage sir !!".As an old seadog (like yourself),you know we need independant port and starboard engine control,to "twin screw"when manouvering in dock---or lining up a torpedo shot---And a crewman to tie up a bowline to the dock,while you twin screw the stern in---Ah well maybe in SH4 ;D

Thanks Tallyman,
Yes it seems my Boat V11B is a little trickey to Nav
around the Dock's I give her some speed to turn
Full rudder but she was slow making turn then i saw
she was headed for the Pier threw her in Full Rev
but not Late ;D yes we need a tug boat or docking
crew to help ;D I was in navy 1955 to 59 but was
a Airdale ;D Never made it to sea though I mit get a
carrier but I got a Air Base in North Africa and my last
duty station was Key West Fla ;D
Thank's for come back I am at Sea now West of Spain
around CF Area I sunk one Merchant with deck gun
Weather Good for Jan 1941 have patrol CF32 area
and moving west and south checking Convoy lanes
Liverpool-Gibralter route

Hey Lane,--yup--I done the same going into Brest,all them nice nurses watching too
I am currently trying to make a mission, but its not saving right--all dates right and validated,but dont get the media file in,so wont play-Dom is trying to find out whats wrong--beats me.
Yup i was navy--- Royal--(THE Navy ;D )---'48--57,went everywhere.
Ok have a good patrol and a few beers when you get in ;D.............................cya.

Ok ,

I went to Lorient to re supply .
Found base found sub pens .
Docked in a sub pen and left mission .What happens next is that the mission is finished! Over .
I could not re supply and have since read that this feature isnt working yet .

So I end up a new mission to travel from Lorient to Brest however Brest isnt a port on my map yet so I think I travel back to Wilhemshaven .

Anyway the long and short of it is that re supply dont work .

enjoy your playing .

UNLESS you recieve a radio message directing you to resupply at a certain base or location ... your mission is simply return to base (for you diehards you can steer yourself into post, or like me if out of torpedos, ammo, etc I simply go to the Kaptains cabin, hit esc, return to base, catch some zzz's, and let my able crew dock the mother)
