I don't like that either. What was the assignment you had for the first mission, and for the second mission? Were you able to complete the first mission? I am assuming that you changed graphics ~after~ the Save game wouldn't load? Did you have LAA active before you started the career? Thanks

Aircraft damaged both ISO's so after a bit I crept near in S-36, put 2 MK10 in the bow of each one - both exploded and sank - must have hit their respective magazines - and we got credit for 2 warships and 64,000 tons.

Btw, my "reward" on return to Brisbane was a choice to become an instructor at Annapolis or continue. Just to see what would happen, I first chose the teaching assignment. Crappy ending. So I tried again this time choosing to stay with my boat. My "reward" was a transfer to the Aleutians in my same S boat! This after six successful patrols, all objectives met, over 200K tons of shipping and warships. Was never offered a new boat or any upgrades to my boat execpt for a 20mm AA gun, and a deck gun with no crew slots. That was a pissy career for sure.

Maybe I bitched too much about the lousy MK14's, even though I never had them on my boat.
Did you have an really bad patrols torpedobait, where you didn't sink anything, and had a lot of damage on your boat? Or were all of your patrols "productive", maybe not stellar, but you sank at least two or three each time out? Thanks
