Wolfpacks??

[finchOU]

Any word on wolfpacks being a part of this game? What about Refueling at sea (aka milk cow?)?

I feel both are a must (if the devlopers did their research!)

okay, I Know, don't say it.......wait and see......It's a new concept to me!

i think i read some where they were going to provide ressuply in the missions hopefully there'll be some wolfpack action..that at least would make the "patrol zone only" mission area a bit more involving and up the interest level

seeing as yur fuel use is only going to be "mimicked" not genuine as yu dont actually travel to and from the patrol zone in any true sense..(thats a point what happens if yur low on fuel and yu end the patrol?) there's not that much point in fuel ressupply (be virtually impossible to exhaust any realistic fuel capacity in a limited patrol zone? unless there being sneaky and allowing the player to radio in for a new patrol zone allocation.....ala AOTD that wud be a nice touch...and i must say go a huge way towards a more in depth campaign ) it'll be more an issue of torpedo ressupply.. and that could mean were back to the old 200 thousand ton patrol totals that become so boringly predictable ;; not all of us fancys ourselves as Uber Commander of the century, me i'm more fascinated by the struggle to get one or two sinkings simply because that has to be the more common experience of the average commander..

torp resupply could be a bit of a weird issue if it's handled in an arcade fashion..

In Silent Hunter 1, which also dropped you in your patrol zone, it was very easy to burn up all your fuel, and head home empty handed.

There was a Low Fuel Line, on your fuel gauge, which was different depending on how far you were from base. You had to return to base before your fuel left this mark.

Your starting fuel also depended on how far your Patrol Zone was from base. Unless you started the first mission in December 1941 in which case you might start off in Manila Bay.
