Transfer matter
 

Does anyone know what are the qualifications for transfer?

I have completed 4 patrols from Pear Harbor and I wish I could be transfered to Brisbane expecting the Solomons campaign!. :down:

No idea really.

It seems to be based on amount of renown and day/date.

Unlike SH-3 I've been able to transfer when I like after finishing 1 mission.

You mean in SH4 you managed to be transfered?

Hi geosub1978 :D Yes it always lets me transfer after I complete 1 mission. SH-3 It was always 3 missions. Not the same for you ? :hmm:

I prefer Brisbane myself too.

I tried transfering out of Pearl Harbor after my second patrol for the same reason (Solomon campaign) and couldn't, even with 6,000+ renown.

Hi, Firewall!

No It doesn't:down: :down:

How do you load your career?When do you request it?

I have 3 different careers going at 3 different bases so this could get confusing.:doh:

I assume you know how to work the transfer system as it's not automatic.

You have taken this really seriously!!!:D :D :up:

I thought everybody was doing this.:D

You can't transfer unless the base/force in question is operating your submarine type.

That makes sence! My carrer would be degraded to jump to an S-42 after my 90.000tn patrol with the brand new Gato!:lol:

That hasn't stopped me and i'm not that slick with this game.

This btw is just a testing phase for me to see all the different features and functions of this game. What works and what doesn't work.

I'm trying out alot of mods and seeing how they work for game play.

So i might not be the one who knows for sure about these transfer problems but, they work for me.

Renoun, tonnage or type of boat hasn't made any difference in transfer
for me.

:doh: :doh: :doh:

We have some years ahead to figure out until SH5!:D

For the moment exactlly as you said! Testing!

I've played with a Gar out of Pearl and an S-boat->Porpoise in the Asiatic fleet all only up to early 1942. The only boat I was allowed to transfer was the Porpoise, which was true immediately after recieving it (after 3 patrols in the S-boat and no ability to transfer).

That would fit with the idea that the only requirement (besides a single patrol?) is that the boat be in the fleet you are trying to transfer to.

I started in Manilla, was switched to Java then switched to Fremantle on my 3rd patrol. At that point they said I was a good boy and they gave me a new sub and sent me to PH to pick it and this is my new port.

Can't you transfer a base using the phone in the office?

Yikes, you mean you take the boat with you when you transfer? I just got out of the Sugar boats into a Porpoise, which wasn't quite the upgrade I was looking for. I was hoping to transfer to Pearl or Brisbane and be assigned a new boat.

Yeah, that's what I was talking about at least. I did the same as you except I stayed in Freemantle when I went from a S-boat to a Porpoise. I could immediately go to the phone and transfer to Pearl if I wanted once I had a boat in both fleets.

However I think the Porpoise is the only sub that is like that until later in the war, and the Asiatic Fleet always introduced new sub types later than Pearl.

I started in the Asiatic Fleet also. I went with the Salmon class. Used it for three patrols. Then offered a new sub. I said yes and now I'm in PH with the USS Drum in it's slip waiting for me.
