Home(port)less?

rodan54 · 03-24-07, 01:34 AM

Well, I'm currently on my first patrol out of Cavite with good ol' S-28, bagged a total of three merchants thus far and I am now out of torpedoes. Now, since starting my patrol about three weeks ago the Japanese have taken Manilla, so where exactly am I supposed to dock now? I've tried sailing to that port in the Dutch east indies (with the anchor), but all I can do is refit or postpone. And from what I can tell there's no longer an 'exit' and 'end patrol' option.

Any help on a possible course of action would be greatly appreciated. The tired crew of S-28 is felling rather abandened about now. Is a nice comfortable port too much to ask for?

my base was lost during a mission ( patch 1.1) and i ended my patrol at a base south east of singapore.
so are you running the patch ? and have you tried reffiting and heading to midway, wich i think is the nearest USN base to the dutch port?

When Manila is overrun, I usually get commandeered to Soerabaya on Java. Try looking in that direction for the 'blue anchor'. But be aware that you might find yourself in a similar situation there, too

If Soerabaya is overrun, I think Brisbane or Fremantle in Australia it is...

I left the base on Java (Soerbaja) around Feb 1942. The Japanese have since taken it over and I tried sailing to BOTH Brisbane and Fremantle after my patrol... and nothing... all i can do is "refit"... NOT end patrol! WHERE DO I GO TO END?? I've been sailing around for almost 2 months and have refitted twice.

I Should mention I am commanding the S-18 class submarine U.S.S. S-18... I doubt I could even make it to Midway or Pearl. Not to mention that for some reason... after I go about 250-400 miles, my speed goes to 0 and stays there for a while and i have to keep hitting the telegraph and listening to my officer say "cannot comply". I assume this is some sort of bug? Anyone else have this?

The crew is too tired. I had this effect after loading a saved game.
Transfer some crew members to the active watch and engines start
running.
