>>>> ...also, to the poster that said you got sent on a wild goose chase because they changed your "home". everytime i have had my "home" port changed they had sent me a message saying so. like when manila got captured they sent a message saying where i had to go next. <<<<
Normally that's very true. I've had two different occasions while based out of Brisbane where there were't any messages telling me I had to report to somewhere else. The first was earlier in the campaign after returning to Brisbane and not being able to end the patrol I got lucky on the first guess and went to Pearl where my sub had some field mods and then I transferred back to Brisbane. The second was this last patrol after sinking the carrier.
To be sure about this I just went through the logs from my saved games just after these incidents and there are no orders telling me that this is what I was supposed to do. No biggy now that I've run into it and I'll be more attuned as to the best port choices to sail to next time.

Been using the radio traffic mod all along and just now started a campaign with all the boxes checked except exterior views. Also planning on staying out longer (3 -4 mths) on each patrol. This completely changed the feel of the first war patrol in a good way.
No all I have to do is get better at calculating target speeds. So far all I managed to do is to hit one small freighter with two torpedos and she was still floating as I had to sail away and I've been out for over a month already.
