When I returned to play, the save game came up loaded with gauges at high noon. I did some experimenting. It seems there is something wrong with the mission assignment. This is the second time this has happened to me in the same area on about the same date and time.

First Patrol with a Gar Class sub, out of Pearl on Dec. 9, 1941. Assigned to Sagami Wan, the first time and Sagami Nada (same patrol area BTW, just outside Tokyo Bay. Arrived on station Dec. 24/25 1941. Sunk some targets. Cleared the area, saved the game, comes back up broken.

Yes, I was very careful not to use excess TC. I didn't have any Alt/Tab issues.

Has anyone else been able to successfully complete the Sagami Wan/Sagami Nada Mission without the gauges at high noon issue?

We'll check-out the area and mission, but there is a slight difference between Sagami Wan, and Sagami Nada (Sagaminada):

The Bay (Wan) is pink, the "Sea" (Nada), is green

My clicking on that 1, snaps Me up there to the Aparri area in the pic... yet no objective info nor as with the top 1 which was the 1st visit to Lamon Bay, shows complete... the 1 for the Aparri area... NOPE... no sign of completion, despite getting told to go to the Lamon Bay area, again....

Even My run in with that IJN task force while in transit for My 1st trip there to Lamon Bay, shows completed.

No idea what happened as for the info for Aparri NOT showing up, nor the completed tag NOT showing up... or the star not staying up & showing a red check mark in the middle of it. It did just prior to leaving the Aparri area to make way to the Lamon Bay for the 2nd time, though. Noticed that, when I went to snap a screenshot of it along with the message clipboard up when I took the screenie...

Hopefully all this info helps figure out what is going on with it.

If any more info needed, don't hesitate to ask.

M. M.

I think I have found it, or rather, have NOT found it... There isn't an entry for an Objective listing... In some edit a while back, I apparently deleted an incorrect line, because there is a useless line of text in the tsr, and not the Objective listing. I am currently sort-of wrenching on it. I am actually trying to get away from an invasion force I found traveling north of Aparri, probably bound for Lingayen Gulf. I shot the four bow tubes as a spread from about 3800 yards, since I was losing them, not able to close anymore, and it was going to be daylight in an hour, so I let fly, figuring that I'd turn and let fly with the stern tubes also. I don't think I had turned much more than one degree when the first shot prematured. Not only did it scare the darkness out of us, but it also ruined the stopwatch. I do so wish the thing would "cascade" from one to the next... oh well. So a preemie, a hit on the bow of a light cruiser, that then slowed maybe to 6 knots, and the next two ran deep under a transport... The convoy had enough escorts to leave three behind with me, while they sailed away into the sunrise, with me trying to slink off quietly. Still not clear of these three ya-hoos, so I Saved and came back with the intel report:

Tracking down a reported ship, but you can see the Aparri Objective is like yours

We swept out wide to the E to intercept the lead elements, a merchant with an escort. This Whale Factory must have been the most important WF in the history of the world as it was escorted by a Yamato BB, both moving slowly.

We sank the BB, then took a closer look at the WF: it was almost submerged and the song of the sea began to play. We quickly submerged and sank it with the deck gun. Radar then reported that the escorts and a carrier were still where originally reported 15 km from the BB, ie stationary. We approached and put five Mk14s into a Taiyo CVE, which did not sink. An errant torpedo sank an escort.

Closer into Truk, a sub was frozen next to a merchant and a freighter was stationary a few km E of that.

Leaving the area, the game CTDed.

I'll look into it Mios 4Me, but there should not be a Yamato east of Truk at that time. Later on, they make a run to Eniwetok, with a Task Force that includes oilers, but I don't remember if that has a whale factory in it or not...
