Not as far as I know. I've been adjusting the sub bases extensively this weekend to improve the game's historical accuracy and I haven't run across it. The following bases are in the game's Flotillas.upc file:

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (base used throughout the war).
Manila, Philippines (base used during 12/41).
Corregidor, Philippines (not used in the game).
Surabaya, Java (base used from 12/41 to 2/42).
Perth-Fremantle, Australia (base used from 2/42 until the war's end).
Brisbane, Australia (base used throughout the war).
Dutch Harbor, Aleutian Islands (not used in the game).

Right now I'm working on getting the base in the Aleutians up and running.

I now have a working base in the Aleutian Islands!

Now it's just a matter of choosing fitting missions for the boats there.

Very cool, keep up the great work..

Interesting. I just checked out the USNavalBase.mis file in the campaign folder and Milne Bay is there with a sub tender - active after Oct '43.

Lots of US bases in there. I guess most of them are for refits rather than Flotilla bases.

Could someone please offer an explanation of this for those of us who did not use RUb?

Also, I noticed that this:
does not appear in any of the My Documents/SH4 gameplaysettings.cfg files, even after deleting and allowing SH4 to create an new directory after installing RFB. I don't think that setting is being read from the main file. Haven't tried putting it in by hand.

That's awesome! Taking an S-boat on an Aleutian patrol will be sweet! Will there be any ships to sink in that area though?

PD

There is no traffic of any kind north of Hokkaido.

On a sidenote, in the course of investigating that, I discovered that the 42b_Jap_SubHunters layer is blank. If anyone is noticeing a sudden gap in ASW patrols during their campaign, that is probably why. 42a and 43a both seem to have content.

Dunno if this helps, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiatic_Fleet has a listing for the warships and aircraft present with the Asiatic Fleet on December 8, 1941.

LOL, I just cranked UP aircraft for some damage testing and saw nada - zilch on a Patrol in Java Sea in June 42. Not even one "very fast" radar contact. THANKS for posting this, you just saved me hours of head scratching !!

Probably a dumb question here but I'm known for them. :) I see that there are 3 files listed. Do I install all 3 or is the 3rd one the latest and greatest of them all? Thanks!

Keep up the great work, it's appreciated! :up:

The third file is the only one you need. :)

As has been said, there are no ships north or east of Hokkaido. However, I just did a cruise there on an old S18 Class boat - torpedoed three ships, sunk one. It's a good long trip, but the boat has plenty of fuel for the trip.

But trips to Hokkaido aren't all that historically accurate for boats based in the Aleutians. I'm hoping someone makes a campaign for the Aleutians once the next RFB mod is published. It shouldn't be too hard - probably just a matter of getting the old campaign editor up and running and sending the odd ship between Hokkaido and the bits of the Aleutians the Japanese have invaded.

That's what I was thinking but wanted to be sure. Thanks mate!

Bump for the above question.
