I'm playing vanilla this time around. While stationed at Wilhelmshaven after my 9th patrol, I put in for a transfer to one of the French ports, which turned out to be Brest. I left Wilhelmshaven on the 10th patrol in July 1940 & have just exhausted torps and, low on fuel, I see that there is no Brest port shown on the map. Being low on fuel, I docked at Lorient to refuel. The next mission shown while at Lorient is to proceed from Lorient to Brest. The current date at Lorient is August 1940, a month after arriving there. Brest is still not shown on the map. I used SH3 Cmdr to limit time spent in port to 1 month from the beginning of the career, so my guess is that the game doesn't show Brest existing as a German sub base yet in August 1940, though why it assigned Brest as my (transferred to) home port prior to launching the 10th patrol from Wilhelmshaven, I can't answer..
So, I'm stuck at either Lorient or Bordeaux (the only other home port shown on the map). Any suggestions on how I can get the game to put Brest on the map?
