Same career mission every time!

First patrol: deploy at Honshu, once there to engage and sink merchant shipping. 5 ships, +27000 tons, blah-blah.

Second patrol, photo recon of Kasu... something harbor. So I take pics, then sink those big juicy sitting ducks (merchants only), return to Pearl, medals, party.

Patrols 3 and 4, same as the second... with the notable difference that on patrol 4 there was a midget sub docked in the harbor.

On all patrols, I've been sending progress reports (it helps me keep track of my total tonnage sunk) and also reporting convoy sightings of my own - couldn't engage though (out of torps). This hasn't helped in triggering a new type of mission - or even the same type mission but in a different enemy harbor. On the fourth mission, I thought that maybe I wasn't supposed to sink what I'd just photographed, so i went North a bit to Hiroshima where lo and behold I had an awe inspiring sighting of the Yamato, which I sankwith 3 shots. So, just photos in the designated harbor and engaging elsewhere hasn't helped either, because guess what my mission orders are for patrol 5... So this would be my 4th repetition of the same mission.

So, has ANYONE managed to get past this repetition issue and actually experience a "dynamic campaign"? Or was it just some marketing hype?

PS - I guess SH3 had a more dynamic career, because I only had the same misiion given to me 3 times in a career.
