Transfer ammo on ships

[smudge56]

Can someone help us please on this.

I was told this was implemented but couldn't make it happen in some simple case tests. Waiting for more complete instructions on this.

Can we replenish and refuel at ports?

Steve, can you please send the test file to me directly? I've been buried in work lately and must have missed this. Thanks!

Added a note to add the required bits and bobs to the UK ships.

Mike do you know about if we can refuel and replenish at ports?

[Rudd]

This test port has 5 different sized piers, a diesel fuel tank, and an ammo dump(non stocked). I guess the questions for me are. What units are needed to make a functioning port? How do you get the ships/subs to replenish at the port?

Hi Der Zeitgeist,

Ragnar is just asking which are most important to you so that he can get those done first - it's a favor being offered, not asked. [8D]

The database on a game like this is pretty much just as complex as the game itself. It's an enormous job and unfortunately there are bound to be typos, accidental omissions and areas that still need work. It's not a static thing - it will continue to change and be updated with each update and also as new information is available to the team. Although the release version was already the most impressive I've seen, realistically it will probably never be perfect. Reports from customers are a great help in highlighting issues and priorities and WarfareSims is taking your feedback on board.

Regards,

- Erik

Hi Eric,

thanks for checking in!

I probably have to apologize for being a pretty big pain in the a.. on these forums. [:)]
I realise that may often seem a bit harsh, but please understand that I don't mean to disrespect the work of the developers here by constantly pestering them, but rather that I'm trying to root out as many outstanding issues as possible to help them complete the ultimate naval war game of this decade. [:)]

Reporting problems on the forum and actually seeing guys like Ragnar get to work on them right away is pretty impressive, and I deeply appreciate that. However, I think you should not just look on these forums for guidance about what your priorities for fixing bugs and missing features should be. There are probably a lot of people out there who don't even read these forums, and who are not necessarily interested in designing scenarios but rather play the scenarios that are already there. So when a problem comes up with a current scenario, as was described in this thread, I think that should take the highest priority for bugfixing and adding missing features, and not what complaints people like me have about certain platforms.

I mean, I paid the same money for the game as everyone else, so why should anything I'm reporting get priority over anything else, especially if it affects a scenario that is currently available.

So what I'm trying to say, please think about other customers who may not be able to read the discussions here, and don't assign any priority to certain problems only because someone plans to build a few scenarios, when there's still problems with the game as it is currently shipped.

All we want at the moment is can we or can we not replenish and refuel at ports please.

Any help with my question?

Rudd, Blightly: The bare essentials for a port to resupply a ship are the pier facility (big enough to host the ship) and a magazine facility grouped together with the pier.

To have the ship dock to the pier, select it and order it to RTB.

Cheers mate thanks for the response.

Hi Sunburn,

I have tried this but can't get it to work. It appears as though the ship won't RTB without a home base being selected and the assign a home base selection doesn't show up for ship's (unlike aircraft). Is their some tip on how to assign a base for ships?

Additionally, is there a away to have ships start off docked at a Pier or Dock, similar to the "Boat Ops" button for ships or "Aircraft" button for runways?

[navwarcol]

I have tried this as well for my scenario D. Probably it is something really basic that I am missing, but cannot get the ship to dock by this method.

[frosen]

Is it possible to resupply/refuel at port now? I've tried the tips in the thread but can't get it to work.

[mikmykWS]

It not yet possible but its on our list.

Howdy.

I tried the above instructions for docking/resupplying while constructing a scenario. It still doesn't seem to work, so I'm wondering if the procedure has changed or if it's simply not implemented yet?

[goodwoodrw]

I reckon a pier needs to have its own magazine and its own set of properties like refuelling to port see picture. What do the devs think on this. At sea Replenishment works well. manually that is.
