Changing bases during career

[elite_hunter_sh3]

yea i started in 1939 in a IIA now in a VIIB its august 1940 forsome really odd reason it says new base : brest , and it doesnt change me and for some weird reason onthe map only lorient shows up and brest and st.naziere r gone!

anyone else have this problem???

That happened to me when my base changed. Just sail into where Brest should be (zoom in, you see that the base is there) and dock. You'll start your next patrol there and everything will be normal.

i want to go to st. naziere how can i do that

[TreverSlyFox]

Once you do make it into Brest, request a transfer to a flotilla that's at St. Naziere.

[elite_hunter_sh3]

wut r the flotillas that r in st. naziere ?

it only says 1st flotilla or 7th flotilla

[Takeda Shingen]

You have to wait until the second flotilla becomes available. So, you will be operating out of Brest for at least one patrol.

I have the base wilhelmshaven , july of 1940, and there are some new bases in france.

what is the best way to change the base to france ??

requesting a change while i´m docked in wihelmshaven ???

or sailing to france , dock and request a change ???

I´m a lot confused about this

It's not odd. Once the Biscay bases were acquired and readied, the majority of the boats were transfered there from the Baltic and the North Sea in an effort to apply additional pressure to the Atlantic sea lanes. The game reflects this reality. Should you survive long enough, you will eventually find yourself being transfered back to Wilhelmshaven or Kiel as the Allies invade France.

Yes, it's a bug that will fix itself in Sept '40, same thing happened to me so I just went into Lorient and re-armed, sank a few mercs and within a couple of weeks (game time) Brest magically appeared... all normal after that.

Best of luck!

I even got transferred to Bergen from Lorient (at least it said so when I loaded the saved patrol). I never was to find out later on since my career was finished by a Sunderland north of Scotland on my way to norway
