The file 'Basic' file in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data\Cfg is a legacy file from SH3 and has no effect on SH4.

But in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific\Data\UPCData\UPCCampaignData I see 'CareerStart' and 'CareerTrack'.

Anyone know how or where to edit so that one can complete more then 3 or 4 missions without forced retirement?

Looking into it now

, thought I saw a few lines of code dealing with retirement...

Edit: Find your career save file in your documents folder (...My Documents\SH4\data\cfg\SaveGames\(YOUR SAVE FOLDER). When you open the Careertracker files in each folder, under the CareerStatusLast section the date should match the date last shown on the calender in your "lobby" room. Once you verify that you have the correct Career Tracker file, try changing some code:

Look at an example from one of my save files:

[CareerTrack 1.CareerStatusLast]
ID=ID
Reason=CSS_LastStatus
NameDisplayable=NULL
CurrentDate=1942-01-05 03:08:14
PlayerRankAchieved=LTCDR
PlayerCurrentLastPromotionDateTime=1941-12-08 16:00:00
CurrentFlotilla=PearlHarborCommand
CurrentFlotillaBase=PearlHarbor
CurrentSDepartureDescription=-1.89576e+007,2.54882e+006,242.189
CurrentUPCFlotillaUserPlayerUnitType=F1Tambor

PlayerWarshipsTonnageSunk=0.000000
PlayerMerchantsTonnageSunk=9398.000000
PlayerShipsSunk=0.000000
PlayerCurrentMedals=NULL,Bronze Star

CrewMembersCurrentPromotionsRepository=5
PlayerCurrentObjectiveCode=Marshall Islands
PlayerDefaultObjectives=ID94
PlayerCurrentObjectives=ID80
PatrolStartDateTime=1942-01-25 08:00:00

Player current rating seems to get higher after each patrol. Try reducing the number next to Playerrating to 1 to see if you dont retire. I dont know if it will work since I havent had to retire in any of my careers yet, but it is worth a try...

Good stuff, I didnt know save games could be adited. Ill take a swipe at this.

The campaign should not end after 3 patrols - unless you're a very poor performer. You should actually increase your player rating to keep fighting.

Im sending 30,000 tons to the bottom each patrol, plus many aircraft and still getting retired. Only thing I can think of is I spend too much time at sea before returning.
