The same mission... again and again ?

[Adriatico]

I am playing career (OH II) and I accomplished "North Western Approaches" patrol... with more than double tonnage sunk above requested 30.000.

As I return to port, I ask officer in bunker for the next mission - but he orders me to sail to "North Western Approaches" and repeat the same (just accomplished) mission... again and again ?

He keeps on repeating a "new task" :



Any explanation ?
How to proceeed with campaign ?
Is it a bug... or I messed up something in installation ?

No problem, OHII has time-set objectives. They show up on the appropriate date, rather than when you've finished the previous mission - so now you've finished your current one, just 'start new patrol' without asking for a mission, go where you want and sink what you want.

When a new objective/mission becomes available, you will be notified by a big red radio message (assuming you're using OHII Radio Messages mod as well, which you should be), and the new mission will appear on the map and become available in bunker in the usual fashion.

You don't need to return to the bunker to request it in order to accomplish it - if for example you're given another 30k tons to sink in a different area, you can travel to that area (assuming you have fuel/torps) and sink stuff, and it will still count towards the total. Selecting the mission in bunker will sometimes give you extra objectives (drop off spy etc), as well, so it boils down to whether you're at sea or not, and your supply situation, as to what you do when the new mission appears.

Thanks mate!
- So... what would be month/year when I can expect further tasks ?
- Can I install Radio Mod in bunker... or should I restart career ?

Er, not sure honestly, been a while since I played that campaign. Trevally will know, if he sees this. When you select 'start new patrol' from the bunker, two weeks of game time will elapse (this amount can be modded I believe). This can be used to skip forward if you're in a rush, if not just patrol and sink as you like until the new one shows up.

OHII Radio Messages:

Again not sure about installation, in port would be safest.

OHII v1.5 already contains those radio messages.

Added the OHII campaign radio messages
