Now...I am annoyed

15 Sept 44.

v1.4.

For the past several (8) patrols, I am told to deploy to the same...damn...point...off...Luzon. Between Apurri and Taiwan.

I complete the objectives. No difference. Quite successful patrols too.

I thought this bug was fixed?

This seems to happen the most to people who do a lot of refits and rarely return to base. Some repeats are unavoidable. There are only so many missions to randomize against.

I rarely refit.

And okay...but 8 missions in a row?

Time for a transfer.

If you get stuck off Luzon again after that... it's because they hate you. :rotfl:

I've seen many people complain of these prior to patch 1.4. I've never been sent on the same mission more than twice in a row myself. I have seen the same mission more than once or twice in a career with no other mission separating them in stock game.

This may not be what you want to hear, but if you are successful in your patrols in a given area and I was your boss I'd be tempted to send you back as well. You know the area, you find ships, you sink ships. What part of that is outside the brief? The navy isn't a holiday camp.
Also, I've seen people complain about repeat agent insertion missions. Hey, think about the poor agents, who probably got caught and shot landing, hence the 'replacement'. Although landing them in the same place may not be so bright...

There will always be glitches. My most recent gripe (of sorts) was running across a promising sound contact that turned into 13 warships. It was dark (4am) and a storm was raging, so visibility was under 500yds. The sea was so rough I couldn't get a visual on anything. From right in the middle of the group I launched 6 torps. 1 hit something, but I have no idea what. I got so annoyed that I almost restarted from my last save, then I realised just how accurate that circumstance might have been. I decided to accept it. It also didn't hurt that the escorts ran all over the place and never touched me. Oh, BTW, I was in shallow water...periscope depth had me 9 feet off the bottom.
