With this new mod, things are done differently. Now you ‘pseudo-dock’ with the U-tanker.
1. You receive extra fuel up to 30% of full capacity, enough to get you home.
2. Up to 30 hit-points are restored, improving your hull-integrity. No equipment will now be repaired.
3. Up to 4 extra air (T1) torpedoes added randomly to your internal reserve torpedo slots. This can only be achieved if one or more of your internal reserve torpedo slots are empty (do NOT confuse the reserve slots with the torpedo tubes!)
4. You cannot refuel in fog (you cannot find the U-tanker), nor in storms (wind-speeds above 10 m/s).
5. You can continue the same patrol, while all original sinkings remain intact.

Pseudo-Docking.
Normally, when the U-boat arrives at any base, including a U-tanker, you press ‘Escape’ to get a screen which shows a Mission Summary, and asks if you want to ‘Dock at: U-463’ (for example) or ‘Continue’.

If you choose the ‘Dock’ option, then the U-boat will dock exactly as it always did. Therefore, the old docking option remains.

If you choose the ‘Continue’ option, then you have ‘pseudo-docked’, and you will be refuelled as described above. You can then continue your patrol without any game saves or tedious reloads.

Limitations.
1. You can only pseudo-dock at a U-tanker, with the prefix ‘U-’. You cannot pseudo-dock at any land base, nor at any surface tanker, such as ‘Brake’ in the Indian Ocean in 1943-4. You should dock properly at surface ships, and give the opportunity for the crew to stretch their legs. (If you really want to pseudo-dock at a surface tanker such as ‘Brake’, you should rename it as ‘U-Brake’, in the campaign files.)
2. Other old options after proper docking, such as repairs to damaged equipment and, with SH3Patrol, the latest radar receivers, are now gone.
3. You can dock subsequently at a U-tanker only after another two weeks have passed. In real-life, further dockings might be permitted for emergencies, but most crews wanted to return home for leave, not extend their patrols a second time!

Stiebler.

Maybe this can help you ,make sure the supplier is a U-tanker rather than others before operate a Pseudo-Docking.
