Default 2nd Flot Lorient

After some start restart , I moved onto the next phase of the game "Happy Times" I was in my old home port pen and spoke to the officer that took me into the speech about France falling and that orders came in that I was being moved to the 2nd Flot at Lorient.

At the end of the speech , I picked a HT mission and got back on my boat when I picked start mission. But when I sailed out of the pen I knew I was still in my old port and when I zoomed out my WM, right enough it was my old port.

1 .. Should I not have been moved to my new port after I listened to the Fall of France speech and picked a Happy Time mission ?

2 .. I was not move , so I sailed to Lorient but can not Dock only refit, like it was not my Home port.

As I sailed to Lorient I sunk a Merchant and in the port of Lorient when I got there I sank another enemy Merchants for 20,000+ tns. I that is when I decided to Dock but it would not let me.

And with Phase 1 past 9 patrols done and with 26 ships sunk for 170,000+tns and other 20,000+ at the start of my latest mission I still have a VIIA boat ???

What worked for me was that i docked at wilhelmshafen.

I was at the start same as you are now on the second chapter of the campaign.

After i docked at wilhelmshafen i was transferred to lorient.

About the sub i got my new one during the first part of the campaign.

Don`t not what the trigger is to get a new one, i think renown or so an so much sunk tonnage.

My guess is you will get the new one soon.

Perhaps even after your have docked at wilhemhafen

Got back to Wilhelmshaven , docked and clicked on the officer again. Again same Fall of France speech and on the world map the Uboat Icon was moved to the coast of France and I was told I was transferred to 2nd Flot at Lorient.

Picked a Happy Times mission and came out of the "office" , right back into the Pen at Wilhelmshaven with my old boat still sitting waiting for me to set off on the mission.

when I docked my total score so far was 30 Merchants and 4 warships for just under 250,000tns. Though I don't have Manual targetting switched on , the only other thing that I do have on is Map Contacts, I can't remember what level that gives me but its 70+%


As far as I know , as soon as I had moved onto Happy Times when I got the Fall of France speech and was told my new order meant a transfer to the 2nd Flot at Lorient when I picked my 1st Happy Time mission and Exited out of that map screen I should have came out in Lorient and not Wilhelmshaven.

The 1st time I tired the 1st Happy Times missions and sunk 3 ships in doing so , I went to Lorient and only got the Refit option, when meant that was not my Home Port.

What do I have to do to get moved to Lorient , I've done the clicking officer in the pen and picked next mission and when Ive came out of that Im still in my old home port..
