Guide: How to Complete a Mission.

[Sagan]

I keep getting the same mission over and over again in carreer mode and I always check to see that my objectives are 100% complete. This is bugging me anyone had this?

There are only a certain number of different missions.

Nothing is forcing you to even do a mission. The renown is just a bonus. You could just ignore it and go patrolling wherever you wish.

If you're getting the same mission over and over that's usually a sign that there's something wrong with your campaign files. Have you installed any mods or adjusted the campaigns at all? If not I'd say some sort of corrupt file has found its way into your game.

I read somewhere that filing aarp's (after action reports) can help with this somewhat.

But as mentioned above there are only so many missions available and the chances of getting a repeat are fairly good.

On this subject.. has anyone gotten a mission that was obvious suicide ? Some of the photo recon missions deep in the mainland of Japan in shallow waters and narrow bays come to mind ?

In these cases Im sorely tempted to ignore orders.

Not yet, but I DID get a mission to photo my own harbor. I was stationed at Surabaya, Just stuck the camera out the window of my hotel and took my pictures.

Ubisoft is notorious for getting dates wrong. In this case it's simply a matter of getting the date of availability of a mission to conform to the date the area changes hands. The same problem happens in the stock game with Manila harbour - you can get a photo mission there in December 1941 when the base is still in Allied hands.

As these things crop up, the major modmakers will fix them. They're easy to fix. It just takes a little time to find the problems.

Ahhh...so that's what I was doing wrong.

Photo recon of a habor. I'm well within the range. 4 ships. I've taken so many pictures (at least 100) they're starting to pose. It is night. I remember in the original SH it had to be daylight to take a picture. Think I'll try some time compression to get to the morning and see what that does for me.

Well to answer my question, I had to go about it in a round about way, as when I tried to load my saved game, it kept CTD. I think I made the mistake of creating a save point when I was under water. It not only corrupted that save but another one from the same career. Fortunately the auto save when leaving base was still intact so I was able to just start the patrol over again, no biggie at this point. Anyway, back to the harbor I went, and my theory of taking photos of the ships in the harbor during the day didin't pan out, but there was a ship, not in the harbor, but cruising by, that I took a photo of, and with just one snap shot of that merchant, I got a the completed notice. That was good enough for me! So I guess it's safe to say that the game wants not only pictures of what's in the harbor, but what is cruising by as well. I think I read someone mention a similar situation somewhere in this thread.

I have been on about 30 career missions, each time I return to the port I left from and upon return it asks if I want to end the patrol. I returned to Pearl, was assigned a new boat and that new boat left from Brisbane. I ran out of torps and returned to Brisbane and it asked if I wanted a refit, not to end patrol???
How can I find my home port and end my partol?

[TorpX]

You should get a radio message informing you of a change of base. If you happen to miss the message, check your charts. The base with the tilted (fouled) anchor is your home base.

I was "frozen" in place, in the harbor where I was to drop supplies. I'd drifted past the Star. couldn't do Zip!
Thanks to your good guidance, I'll go back and nail that Star.
my previous "Deliver Spy" mission went off without a hitch.
Again, Thanks
