HOW TO REFUEL SUB AT SEA?

[AW1Steve]

While US boats were capable of carrying fuel (on rare occasion they carried aviation fuel to refuel seaplanes) it required special planning and equipment, and was not normally done.I agree that US submariners in an emergency could be be very inventive (witness the pre-war case of the R-boat coming home to Pearl Harbor under sail) it would really complicate the game by permitting this feature.Note---Doolittle proved you could launch a B-25 off a carrier, but you can't do it in the game. Imagine how players would complicate the game to a point that charges of "gamey-ness" would fly. And they'd be right. Special, "one-off" events that required special training and equipment, not to mention LOTS of planning should not be permitted to be accomplished "on the fly". Just my opinion

That is what I thought. USN does a decent job of overcoming and adapting this days. Not a war-2 expert but guess they did okay back then too. We are taught that a weapon is a weapon and not a name. A rock can kill you just as dead as a nuke. imo them 'fleet' subs had just we needed and do not much care what they were built to do. When a weapon comes into your hand you use it as best you can to achieve your objective. Maybe we could have our subs do things they were not supposed to do because they were just better.

Agree. It is not in-game if it was not normal and routine.
