Docked at Pearl depart from Brisbane

SteamWake · 09-01-08, 09:19 AM

This is a weird one.

On my last patrol we dedided to try this newfangled radar mast while submerged thing.

Of course we got spotted and the bomber put one right down our throats. Just about every thing was damaged right down to the ice cream maker. Batteries were wrecked and could only take on 5 percent charge, fuel tanks were leaking, compartments flooding, what a bloody mess.

The crew did a great job of patching things up and somehow we managed to make it to Midway to fill the tanks. The fuel would immediatly leak out and leave me with 30 to reach pearl with which is enough.

Made it to Pearl breathed a sigh of relef, worked on the crew a bit, and started our next mission. Selected start outside harbor and were off.

Quick look at the map to set our course and.... What the hell ?! Im at Brisbane :hmm:

Yup docked at pearl woke up in Brisbane

Something like that happened to me too, but the other way around.
I docked at Surabaya and 'woke up' in pearl, but in my case I think it's normal because that anchor icon doesn't appear at Surabaya.

Probably the war moved on while you were in port and you were transfered, sub and all.

Because Hula girls can't dance on the water. Their grass skirts get waterlogged.

Oh btw I figured it out... I was a tad anebriated and forgot that I had accepted the command of a new boat. Thats probably why. Though it told me not there was a transfer involved.

If I had known I would have stuck with the old boat. Hate sailing out of Brisbane.

I had that happen once, accepted a new boat and ended up in Brisbane. Usually I'm in Brisbane and end up in Pearl to get the new boat.

I start in Cavite. But I'm leaving Pearl. I've had the game (Gold Edition) for a couple of weeks. So where am I going wrong? Also when in time compression (x64+) the crew still becomes fatigued? Again is this a problem. I thought this would belike SHIII. Any Ideas anyone?

As to the strange base change its just a part of the game

it has to do with time more than anything else (year of the war 1941 vs 1943 etc)

The crew being fatigued.. have you called to general quarters and forget to cancel it?

Schani · 09-22-08, 11:00 AM

I think from looking through different threads the base change maybe the class of sub. I was using a Gato-class. From what I've read they operated out of Pearl. So I'll try a different class of boat. The crew fatigue issue. I never called the crew to battlestations. I'll check and see if somehow battlestations was enabled without my knowledge.

Thanks for the help.

One other question since I'm at SHIV gold. In the newer sub classes how does the sonar operate? Seems to be automatic. Since the hydrophone dial no longer operates.

Never had this problem... Home / end keys?

Are you looking at the active sonar perchance?

Schani · 09-22-08, 11:33 AM

I'll have to check when I get home. I believe active, since I am getting sonar reports and readings on the map. I give the home/end keys a whirl.

Thanks
