Default No transfer possible?

Hi guys. Just to start, I'm running 1.4 and TMO 2.5. As I'm writing this it's august 1943 and I'm based in Fremantle AUS. I started off in Midway but somehow I was automatically transfered. The thing is, I cannot transfer back to Midway or transfer at all. They're just giving me patrols around the Philippines and the Celebes sea and it's getting somewhat boring (ducks for cover).

PS: during my unvoluntary transfer I was awarded a 'new' sub but what I got was a Tambor, while in Midway I was at the helm of a Gato...

Any thoughts?

Install the TMO 2.5 little patch. There's a known bug in TMO 2.5 called The Tambor bug. Little patch fixes it. At least I think. I use TMO 2.2.

As for the transfer, I think that's controlled by \Data\Cfg\Basic.cfg :

[TIME]
TransferFlotilla=1
NbDaysInBase=28
NbPatrolsInFlotilla=3
NbMonthsInFlotilla=6

New sub = restart that clock whatever flotilla you get transferred to, so you have to do 3 patrols and six months in that flotilla before you can get another transfer.

This is speculation, not a proven fact, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works. You could experiment by editing that datablock in the basic.cfg file, or wait out the 6 months and 3 patrols and try again.

THNX!

One more thing, my deckgun moved from stern to bow without crew. Is that part of the Tambor bug as well?

Have to say the Tambor is performing well. Had to escape 3 escorts and got it down to 168 meters without mishaps

TMO defaults the deck gun to bow. I think you can still change it if you want.
