Carreer in SH 4

revjack · 03-26-07, 05:31 PM

I just started a new career in SH 4 ( patched to 1.1) and the first one I got out of Pearl Harbor was to place a spy in Japan. Well. did that and when I got back to get my new assignment it was to take and drop off another spy in Japan, same place and everything...OK, I think, maybe there was one that forgot to get on the last trip

. So, I do that successfully and when I get back to Pearl and get my next assigment....guess what? Drop off another spy to the same place again.....anybody else have this problem? If so what do you do? Is there a way to fix this or should I just delete this career and start a new one? Any help or ideas would be appreciated!! By the way, I REALLY like this game and am having a blast playing it!

Um, welcome aboard, both of you!

Sorry I can't help, but I can't play anything currently, and haven't even seen SH4 yet. Hope it works out.

Refit at Midway and go hunt on your own - I consider the drops a minor job and the hunting the nerve of game.

I get new orders once the spy is dropped of, thats if you havent spend all your torpedos on the way to drop point or have to littel fuel - Thats on very hard level aka 100 % realisme.

Welcome aboard men! Der Graf is correct. I believe what torps and fuel you have left determines your next order. I have yet to repeat a mission. I do start at Manila though. Navigate at lower kts to conserve fuel. If you have the fuel and torps you will receive other orders....at least from what I have experienced using Manila as my port to start the war.

So.. selecting unlimited fuel can actually cause it to repeat possibly? Or not give you new orders?

Logic would dictate yes and no. If you have plenty of fuel then logic would say more orders. Not running low on fuel and never being told to return to port would be the next logic answer as to no new missions.

I run limited and when torps or fuel is low, I'm told to return for refit. I also send my position at least once a day.

You don't *have* to follow the mission objective. You just get set renown for doing it.
