Oh ya, just an FYI.

Take your time on patrols. The other day it occured to me that if you run a quick patrol, your liable to see a repeated mission. Not an issue with pearl harbor, but possibly the with the asiatic fleet. A side effect of creating a scripted mission sequence. Missions exist for a 2 month time period, before the next one is assigned.

So if a mission was assigned from 01Jan42 to 31Feb42, and you left on Jan 1, and returned on feb1, you'll get a repeated mission. On the other hand if you left on 31 Jan, and returned on march 1st, you wouldnt.

The problem is primarly with mission types where only one type of that mission exists for that area. An example being the phillipines. I think theres only 1 photo op mission for that area. (where has Honshu has 4 or 5 different photo missions) So, going through that career track again, your going to get a tit for tat repeat with the phillpines.. So i need to script more photo missions so i can vary what your going to go photo.

This will be a project for the next version i think. Scripting more special ops type missions to reduce the chance of an exact repeat when replaying that flotilla.
