Soerabaja photo recon - odd mission

bedbug · 04-15-09, 09:14 AM

Hi, I'm a noob and on my 2nd mission. This mission is to take photos of the harbour at Soerabaja - however it also happens to be my home base after the fall of the Philipines which took place half way through my first mission in the Celebes Sea.

I don't get it! I've submerged (to just over 40ft as its so shallow) and tried locking on ships etc but the camera tool won't activate. Do I need to leave the harbour and wait for it to fall to the Japanese before I re-enter or is this a glitch? Indeed, am I just better off re-docking but then what?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to subsim

I have never heard of getting a mission to your own base

Are you sure it is still your base?

Dead sure! I see only US flags on both the ship and the dockside. In addition, I surface and do not come under fire. More importantly, going to the chart the home-base symbol is placed on top of the mission objective symbol. If I knew how to take a screen-shot I'd post it (if I knew how to do that aswell).

Thanks for the welcome.

To take a screeshot ctrl+f11

Strange situation could be some sort of bug but I have never heard of it.

Right, I think I took a shot, it says so on the message scroll, giving me the location as in "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 4 Wolves of the Pacific\SH4Img@2009-04-15_16.18.53_831.bmp"

but I can't seem to locate it within the Ubisoft directory in that locsation.

It's in the main SH4 directory ... sometimes it's hard to spot among all the other icons.
