U-874 has been docked in Soerabaja.

[spork542]

I returned after a 164 day patrol, to Soerabaja, in northeast Java. ~58000 tons. Also, quite puzzling, observe this text from my Personnel File:

18JUL43 EISERNES KREUZ ZWEITER KLASSE
18JUL43 EISERNES KREUZ ERSTER KLASSE
18JUL43 RITTERKREUZ
18JUL43 RITTERKREUZ MIT EICHENLAUB
18JUL43 RITTERKREUZ MIT EICHENLAUB UND SCHWERTERN
18JUL43 RITTERKREUZ MIT EICHENLAUB, SCHWERTERN UND BRILLANTEN
18JUL43 RITTERKREUZ MIT GOLDENEM EICHENLAUB, SCHWERTERN UND BRILLANTEN

All in one patrol! :huh:Now, how do I manually transfer myself to the 12th Flotilla? What files must I edit? No way am I going into the Med in 1943 with a IXD2!

Also, where could I upload my personnel files?

[spork542]

Um... Please? :)

[spork542]

I repeat: Is there any way to manually change my flotilla in the career files? How would I change it to 10th or 12th?

[Kruger]

:o Surubaya.....I want there too

[spork542]

It's cool seeing the Japanese, isn't it? There's almost nothing in the huge port, though... I wish there were some Japanese destroyers or something, if just as decorations.

[bigboywooly]

Not sure if there is a way around the 3 patrols before applying for a transfer but even if there was you can do it from a friendly base
You can always cut through the Suez canal :rotfl: to the med or sail back round to a French base ignoring your orders

If there is a way around it then someone will have the answer

FYI have you checked out what is coming in GWX? http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=97303&highlight=update Specifically:

- If you join the 10th Flotilla, you will have the option in 1943 of sailing to, or starting a career in, Penang, Malaya. Patrol the Indian Ocean and waters around Australia hunting convoys and coastal vessels. In late 1944, to avoid the constant Allied attacks, you'll move base to Jakarta, where you'll spend the remainder of the war.

...MASSIVE work on the campaign files is being done to accommodate the new operational theaters as well as additions to prior existing theaters.

Yeah recommend it to anyone who's got a "death wish" did it in late 44 with and IXD2 ran out of AA round before I even got a quarter of the way up the suez.

[Biggles]

Ha! I remember you! I gave you that idea!

So you DID it eh? well, that's grand isn't it!? I hope you had fun, cause I'll do it someday!

[spork542]

I haven't gone through the Suez yet. I don't want to kill my crew. PS, that 10th Flotilla thing in GWX, that's interesting, JScones. Can't wait.

[Biggles]

You know mate.....what can you choose? Gibraltar or Suez?

I'd take Gibraltar, it's a pain to get through but I think you can make it.

[spork542]

Of course, if I get in, how am I going to get out? Knowing me, by the time I'm going to be leaving the Med it'll be '44...

[HunterICX]

:o holy hell, you must have seen everything in that IXD2...

[spork542]

I saw the Cape of Good Hope. I saw Gibraltar. I saw Mogadishu. I saw Jakarta. I saw Surabaya. What else is there to see? Would it be better to try entering the Med through Gibraltar or the Suez? I can only go around without a snorkel for so long...

[Hybris]

I say the suez by day you rest on the bottom if you don't have a snorkel but by night fall you surface and run flank as far as you can until day break then repeat.

btw How deep is the canal? and is there away to make a Panama canal (More like waterway since animated locks are not in the game at all)
