Missing the point, skipping the mission objective is not a problem, the problem is you can't end a patrol without returning to the designated home port. What I'd like to do is put into any port to end the patrol - example home port is Pearl, I leave Pearl and cruise down to Guadalcanal and sink some ships, then instead of having to go back to Pearl I go into Brisbane and end patrol there.
Only hackable thing I can find;
\Data\Cfg\Basic.cfg
That has a datablock;
[TIME]
TransferFlotilla=1
NbDaysInBase=28
NbPatrolsInFlotilla=3
NbMonthsInFlotilla=6
I just edited that;
[TIME]
TransferFlotilla=1
NbDaysInBase=28
NbPatrolsInFlotilla=1
NbMonthsInFlotilla=1
So instead of needing 5 months and 3 patrols in a given flotilla before you're allowed to request a transfer, you should need only one patrol and one month to put in a request. Need to test it, since there are other factors involved - where when and if you can transfer is also controlled by the sub type and starting flotilla (example Asiatic start you have to go through the whole fall of Manila, fall of Java, retreat to Australia sequence before any transfer is possible) in other files, so we'll see if that improves things or not. Still isn't quite what I'm looking for, but might be the simplest way to add some variety to careers.
