Wtf?? What happend to the "Patrol this grid here for 24 hours" and then freehunt???
What did I do wrong?? I completed the primary objective of taking the photo, and still i got sacked after my first patrol. lol

Strange, it sounds like a 41 Manila bug where your boat might have been caught in a retirement glitch before being transferred to Surabaya (or another base) because you RTB at Manila?

Simple as that. If you try and go rogue, you WILL be retired out early.

The only reason I'm commenting is that I did some experiments just for fun to see what the minimum amount of work is necessary to satisfy the AI.
For the experiment I never radioed a status report; only completing the original objective and SH4 didn't seem to care. Once, the mission was a photo recon (only), another was to insert commando's, most were Deploy or Patrol missions where I did the grid for 48 hrs and 'freehunted'. I received awards & upgrades, a new command of a Gato class, and was never retired.
