Strange message

[subdude]

having just started my career, on my 8th patrol leaving from willhelmshaven i received 2 identical radio messages from BdU saying "new base BREST". brest does not show on my map, what an i supposed to do with that info?
also, do i eventually get promoted to a newer sub at some point or will i stay as long as i do not change anything myself?

Hi subdude!

You are stuck with the original sub until you exchange it (using renown) for another. Can't expect Bdu to dish out flashy new subs to all and sundry!

Messages about 'Brest'. I believe that if you travel towards Brest, it will appear on your map when you get close. Bit awkward if you don't know where Brest is!

Enjoy your subsimming.

Brest is a port on the tip of the Breton peninsula in France, was a major submarine base in World War II

Just be happy you didn't get transferred to St. Nazaire, do you realize how hard is that to pronounce?

Getting the "base changed to Brest" before Brest is visible on the map is an old bug in the original game.
Just do your patrol and then click "return to base" when still at sea. That will warp your boat to the right base, Brest, and all will be OK when you start the next patrol.

St.Nazaire is better port for me than Brest in couple cases. First it is further away from Britain which means less air raids can be expected on this port.
Second it has a straight exit to the ocean which I find cosy to use.
