One problem we still encounter doing FotRSU is 'bad' dates, such as February 29, or April 31. Any month with 30 days or less is a potential problem. Then there are the overlaps, where the terminating day for the old equipment is after the start date for the new. Those are the reasons some suggest staying out longer. Unfortunately, you as the player, have no easy way of finding out which date (if it is a date) is causing the trouble, nor which piece of gear it is - if it's gear...

The amount of extra time you stay out might have to be based upon getting past the end of the month, if you're into September... Can't be doing no upgrades on September 31st, 1944 - if that's what the root cause is...
thanks for the suggestions. the current situation is at the start of a patrol so there is no fatigue to consider. the previous mission ended during july and both july and august are 31 day months so the date-keeping should not be messed up.

i am listing towards the equipment changes as the root cause but how in the H do i track down all of the changes? i know there are equipment dates in the sub.UPC, UnitParts.UPC, UpgradePacks.UPC, and god-knows-where-else. can you suggest a process/procedure to follow...other than start with the first file and walk through every date change? {weeping icon here}
