Submarine Supply

Post by RTA_Oscarbob »

My question is : how can I supply a submarine ?
He's in the middle of the sea, without carburant :?

Send a supply ship (carrying supply as freight) out to him. If the supply ship is within 10 km, it will refuel him. :)

I dont understand why some of my Submarine have a huge endurance, and some have a very little one.
Maybe it was because some were supposed to be immerged while making the template ? But in coop, they are all to surface... Can I interfere on this ?

Tow others questions :

-Is it the same way to refuel tanks ? I just have to drop them fuel with a C47/Ju52 within 10km ?

-Will my tanks refuel automatically just by staying on an ennemy conquered airfield (with fuel reserves of course) ?

Thank you.

Hi Oscarbob,

Submarines are a little complicated to use in SEOW. Submerged, they have very short ranges and low speeds. On the surface they have very long ranges and higher speeds. By default in SEOW, submarines move on the surface and are submerged when stationary. If they suffer a breakdown, they appear inactive on the surface for a mission. The range and speed of a submarine is determined by how they appear in the template (submerged or not).

If you don't like the default behaviours, you can make all subs permanently submerged by changing the relevant Mobile, Stationary and Inactive forms in Object_Specifications table.

On resupplying units: please have a look through the SEOWiki documentation at

How can I put supply in a supply ship ?

I didn't find in the wiki.

I try to put supply in the ship when he's very near to a field or in a harbour, but it doesn't work :?:

Sorry Oscarbob, lost track of this thread for a moment. Try getting the tanker close to a fuel dump or a resupply point.
