SH3 Commander Days in Port problem

[Rose]

Before my latest patrol, I set number of days in port to 10. When I returned to port, it was September 20... And when I set out for Patrol 2, it was STILL Sept. 20. What is going wrong? I must have 10 days for my next WaW patrol, so any quick help would be appreciated.

"set out for patrol 2" as in started the actual patrol at sea or "set out for patrol 2" as in simply entered the barracks room prior to starting the patrol? If the latter, note that the barracks date is not affected by changing the days in base value. You will only notice the correct date when you start the actual patrol.

If the former, then I don't know what's happened. Basically, unless the days in base value is set to 0 (are you sure it's 10?) you will never start the next patrol at sea on the same day as finishing the previous patrol.

Whew, what a relief... As you said, JScones, when I started the patrol it was September 30th. False alarm :D.

Ok, now another "problem." I completed my patrol on October 11, with days in port set for 10. HOWEVER, when I am in base about to start my next patrol, the notepad says December 2! Where did November go?!

Any damage? Upgrades? Those add time.

Ah, damage, that must be it... Wow I should know these things by now.
