Are Campaign Patrol Missions date dependant???
 

Another words does the Campaign assign patrol missions based on the date?

I'm really getting sick of patrolling the Japan Sea in early/mid 1942....

When the rest of the war is all around me... :damn:

Is there a way to get a higher probability of getting a Guadacanal Patrol during the battle of Guadacanal.

I see that the Campaign Patrol missions have a start date but what about an ending date so I'm not stuck rescuing pilots at Midway on dates well before/after the battle.

You got to look in the flotilla.upc file (Data/UPCData/UPCCampaignData)
There is under your current flotillia with the number of your current sub a objective code with end dates. You'll find this obj. code in the patrols.cfg.

I.e.

NameDisplayable= Brisbane
