How to get stationary survivors?

Hi all, been a while since i posted.

I recently got back into SH4, now playing with RFB and RSRDC.

After a conning tower upgrade om my Salmon (late war, had to fix the R04/R01 node to get the surface radar via savegame edit), I start a new patrol in Fremantle. On the map I see that my base is now changed to Midway. Does this always happen with a conning tower upgrade?

But this isn't my real problem.
In my new patrol, the first mission i get is to rescue 4 survivors near Tawi Tawi, the date is august 1943.

So I proceed to the chokepoint northeast of Tarakan Island, and circle to the north of the Tawi Tawi island. There I spot two smoke markers in the shallows. I go full speed towards them, but well before reaching them, the wind has blown them INTO the island.

In fact, after circling around the island to the south, they have travelled straight across the island, and since wind direction changed during this time, they now move west. wind speed is 6 meters per second, which is (nomograph) 11 knots!

So, I kick in flank speed, and even with 21 knots i spend almost two hours to get near them . By this time, they have crossed the channel to the west, and are now blowing across ANOTHER island

.

I know this is probably something from stock game, but is there any way to have survivors stick to the spot they 'parachuted'.

thanks for any solution/answer,

@lantis
