:hmm: Just quickly using Google Earth, sailing non-stop via Cape Horn, that would be about an 18,500 mile journey, which would take near 3 months at 9 knots (assuming clear weather). Where is the YYAAWWWNNN smiley when you need it.

Oh, and stock up on cans of spam in Hawaii on your way south - you're going to need it.

edit:

more like 16, 056 nautical miles, so still about 75 days, probably closer to 100 days given weather - make that 2 yyaawwnnns

I thought it was bad going from Hawaii to Thailand. I've had to abort that mission twice and reload due to fuel (will I ever complete???) but that one is ridiculous.

Yeah. Thailand should be for the Fremantle boats. Some of the deployment assignments make little geographical sense. The Skagerrak one still takes the cake tho.

Lol you would be nuts to even try to do that patrol.

Hawaii - Thailand is doable after refueling at Midway and on the way back 5-6000 miles.) The later fleet boats with good crew and weather can do 10-12,000 miles at typical long range surface cruise speed. No high speed chases on the way.

Ok.. that is weird.


I have no idea how this is happening. The subron 50 missions are not scripted into ANY flotilla except subron 50 out of holy loch.


Maybe i just need to remove it. I dont know.

If anyone else encounters this, i need to know the exact circumstances prior to getting an unwanted atlantic patrol assigment.


Edit:
I can tell by looking at the pics, this is on version 1.4 of sh4.

But what version of TM i is, i cant tell.

I don't know if this is related but typically when I transferred fleets; like PacFlt Pearl to SoWesPac and vice versa I'd get assigned to a former fleet patrol area on the first mission.

(this was in 1.4 ... I haven't transferred fleets in 1.5 yet) He transferred from SubRon50 to Pearl so seeing this makes sense. Others have mentioned this to me in stock - vanilla SH4.

DOH! :damn:

I forgot all about that. Acutally i didnt think anything of it. The game picks your next mission AS YOU DOCK on your current patrol. When you click "Dock at....." thats when th egame picks your next mission. So you end patrol, game assigns, and then you transfer..

yes, its not going to match. I guess im so used to looking at/ dealing with that, i never thought it worth mentioning.
