Default Brest Transplant

First of all, my apologies for the title of this thread. :P Secondly, it is April 1944 and I received the radio message "The base was changed to: Brest." I only just transferred to Bergen... Am I to actually listen to this message and go there after my patrol is done?

I have read that there is a bug where such a statement can appear, but older saves gives me the same message upon the completion of loading. Saves where I did not receive such a message before.

To make things even more confusing, since June of 1940 I have been getting that silly "Your base has changed to Willhelmshaven" popup after choosing to load a save. This has never caused a problem however, and I always "spawn" at the appropriate base. BdU needs to make up their damn minds!

There's no joke other than the thread title, just a legitimate question regarding the supposed transfer to Brest from Bergen.

Given the date of the transmission, I suspect this may be some kind of coded message from BdU letting you know that the whole war effort is about to go t!ts up.

Rgr that....ignore said message and teleport back at the end of your patrol, the game will/should return you to the 'appropriate' base.

I tried that, and while I was with the 11th in Bergen, they actually did move me to the 1st in Brest. Quite odd. It's as if they're expecting some sort of attack...

The same thing kept happening to me while I was stationed in Penang. The first patrol out started in Penang, but the message would come in and I'd be teleported back to the 1st Flotilla after completing my patrol. I couldn't find a solution and finally gave up trying to campaign in the Indian Ocean.
