This is off topic but I can't seem to find the information; when I've started careers on Sept. 1st 1940 from St. Nazaire the base does appear on the map. Almost immediately after I leave on patrol, it mysteriously disappears! I find that I have to cheat (hit Return to Base) when I'm out of torpedos as I can't remember the way home. I've checked other threads re: rebasing & St. Nazaire not being on the map until September 20th (there abouts) and found that my cfg file matches up with the suggested solution for that bug. Is there any way to fix the disappearing base bug?

Thanks again for all the help.
Between 9/40 and 5/41 the 7th Flottille was transfering boats from Kiel to St. Nazaire. When looking through the boats that were assigned to this Flottille's war patrol records there are a lot of variations. Some went from Kiel to St. Nazaire as early as September 1940, and then operated out of St. Nazaire while others remained in Kiel until it was ready to transfer the entire Flottille there (historically speaking, would need to look it up in the game to see what it is actually set to)
