Yea you will just get the same mission over again.

If I'm not mistaken the "ticking" noise is actually when you reach a waypoint set on your navigation map. It get's real annoying when you're going through Kiel lol.

As far as dock vs. refit... Well I refit. After reading about some of the 150+ day patrols some of the real U-Boat commanders had I figured going out for a month then spending time in dock was just about as unrealistic as the refit times lol

I think you'll find that those extra long patrols were done in Type IXs. I also hope that the crew management makes it more difficult the longer you stay out. Stopping at a friendly base to resupply and staying out for four months or more was a very rare thing.

No, I'm not talking about that click sound when you hit a waypoint.

I have something else going on. It's like the clock ticking but much faster. It did not start until midway through the pirst patrol.

Corrupt save maybe? I don't know.

I catch this problem solved on another forum. What you need is to unlock target after atack ,before you run in to TC

@Utops, thank you. Will try that.

I got a constant ticking..it was very annoying when on TC...found out that it may have been a torp that was "hanging" it had been fired and missed a target...and just stopped a few clicks after the intended target.. very strange.

Tried everything Clock on/off..restarted, luckily I had just saved prior to the encounter. Everything was ok again
