Have you tried following what was outlined in this thread?
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=120398

If so, you may want to try the "repeat patrol fix" located in Tmaru's support directory.

I am really sitting on the fence with that mod. On one hand, i question if its neccessary, on the otherhand, i question if i should just make it Tmarus default installation.

So do I need to stay out at sea longer. I get all mission completed.

Hit up a port - Refit/Rearm?

I imagine they wouldn't send just any skipper to patrol off the coast of Japan. Perhaps they just think you're really good?

Only once did I get stuck in the ugly cyclical Honshu patrol. Three times to be exact. My last time out I spotted a convoy and I had no torps left. I got the message on a great find and come on home when ready. That was it. Have you spotted a convoy and reported in?

I am really beginning to think this has something to do with being based in Pearl...

Could be. I mean, technically speaking the IDL bug still exists. How about your patrol log. I know for a pearl boat, everythign is stamped the same date. For instance if you sunk a ship for every day of the week, they'd all be reported as being sunk on the same date.

I pondered that Idea, but it still stinks. It's almost like eating the same cereal at every breakfast until you die.

I stopped playing SH4 MONTHS ago due to this. On three seperate careers, out of seperate bases, using vanilla SH4 with v 1.2 I had this happen....

finally checked back here and saw that 1.3 is finally here.... maybe will try career 4...
