I was out of Fremantle in an S class boat in april 1942 with the objective of patrolling the Celebes Sea, Northeast of Tarakan Island. Found good hunting there and put down three merchants, expending all my torpedoes, but had three problems or strange experiencies:

1.- No matter how much I crossed and crossed over the objective mark, even atop the center of it, it never changed status to "completed". The objective had no duration, simply to "reach" that position. On other patrols, as soon as I got close to such objectives, it was completed and I got a new one asking me to patrol for X hours. Not this time, though!.

2.- With all torpedoes expended I reported to base on my way to Brisbane (Received a message telling me that by 18 april 1942 all S-Boats were to report there), but the return message I got was to continue with my current objective Low on fuel and with no torpedoes, is that normal? Shouldn't it be "Return to base, well done"

3.- I planned to refuel at Darwin, as the icon showed there was a refit tender or secondary base. But when I nosed in at april 25th, there was nothing but a docked destroyer. Could not refuel, and had to creep my way slowly to Brisbane at economical speed.
Item 1: Unable to recreate your problem.

Item 2: You did not need to respond to the message, the responds you got was based on your "mission objective"

Item 3: Didn't you notice the small "anchor" icon in the upper right corner of the display. It will be there when you are within 10nm/20km of the "base" marker. Just double click on the icon and the "refuel/refit" window will display.


Also you are playing on a "obsolete" version of RSRDC. The current version for RFB is v575, see first post for download link,
