I am tired of patrolling the Marshall Islands

BigJonsson · 04-16-07, 05:53 PM

Must have been 4 times in a row, and surprise surprise, thats my mission AGAIN

Its 1943, I am tired of those islands

What was the workaround to get more variety?

AHHHHHH...somone else that keeps getting the SAME patrol over and over and over....

I was on patrol 11 out of Pearl Harbor....off the S coast of Honshu for the 11 freakin time. I finally gave up and took an S class out of the Phillipines.... I think Im going to wipe SH4 completely out and reload with new patch.

Anyone else have any ideas on the "repeat patrols"???

No Idea, but I keep getting the same patrols too, finally gave up and started new career.

In real life, the subs didnt have the luxury of restarting a career. They went where the bosses told them. I suspect they probably had "repeat" patrol areas.

Nothing is making you do the missions. Go where you want. You only lose out on a few hundred renown is all. No biggy.

I've had this too! What I do now is complete the objective an don't report in untill I'm out of torpedoes. This allows me to go where I want after the objectives complete. When I'm out of torpedoes I report an head home, it works for me.

I don't have any problems with taking off and doing what I want, but I have yet to have any of the pilot pickup or commando drop missions, and if all I wanted to do was patrol I could be playing SHIII.

I have just done 5 identical patrols of agent insertion to Osaka. Going to load 1.2 and start from scratch. Also, I havent been able to transfer from pearl to anywhere else.

Every time I start a career from pearl I get sent to the marshall islands, and find nothing to sink...

I give an area about 5 days of patrol. If it is dry I make my way to other areas to patrol. Smart money would look at the map that shows known shipping lanes

Head there and make your own party. SUBCOMPAC does not give you a hard way to go if you do not patrol where they ask. You only get a few hundred renown anyway. Go find your war Skipper!!!

My favorite flotilla is the Asiatic fleet. Many different area of operations, narrow straits and shallow waters.
