Repeat Patrol issue

AVGWarhawk · 04-08-07, 08:57 PM

Ok, I finally ran into the repeat patrol deal. My port was Java. I expended all torps and reported. I was never told to go to Java but returned anyway. This is when I got the same patrol. I reload my game before I decided to head home on my own accord. Since the boys at SUBCOM did not tell me to use Java. I motored over to Brisbane. I could refit but not end patrol. I then headed out to Darwin as SUBCOM said the Japanese were operating there. I hung out for two days with no luck. In the meantime, Java had been taken by the Japanese. So me and the WO decide to head that way and hunt. While I'm busy searching, I finally get a new order to head to the South China Sea and patrol.

I believe after two patrols from the same port there are no new orders Therefore you are not told to return to that port after your second patrol. If that is the case then go to another port for a refit and head out to hunt on your own. Apparently SUBCOM listens to your radio messages as two of my men were promoted at sea. Anyway, I received my new order and heading that way. Hopefully after some sinkings and my weapons are exhausted SUBCOM will be kind enough to offer me another home port to end patrol.

Hmmm... I could swear that Brisbane was the correct place to go after Java falls?

Yes, but I went on my own accord. Java was still open for business but I was not interested in doing the same patrol and besides, SUBCOM did not tell me to go to Java. Kind of like limbo. So me and the boys wanted to see some kangaroos down under and headed to Brisbane. When dad gives you the key to the sub you can go just about anywhere and not get in trouble. I refited and headed out. It was at this time Java went down and I finally was told to go the South China Sea. I suspect there are two different patrols per you home base then it repeats if it is not lost on any one of your two patrols. I do not know the file system on the missions but perhaps a third needs to be added. It is like a time line issue. You are completing your two patrols long before your base falls. Then you get the repeats after you exhausted your first two. At least that is how it looks to me.

Freemantle is my next stop. Like I said, Java now lost and I final got orders the South China Sea. I just wonder what port they will assign me to.:hmm: I kind of like the free reign after you completed you missions and SUBCOM does not tell you what port to go too. I get to wander the islands to any port I like.

I have found that when using Pearl as your home port, once the repeats start, refit at Midway once, patrol and then career should continue on with other orders.
