I got the mission to drop commandos off 6 times in a row as my first mission for 6 separate patrols... It is definately a pretty serious bug.. Same guy too... Jesse Brockman, damn good commando, lol

I had the honshu mission when I had a campaign out of PH and roleplayed it the best I could but the commando mission was a game killer.

As SW said, Dan is already looking into the campaign repeats. I can honestly say I never had up to 6 of the same. That is a bit much. Max I have had was 3 of the same. Fear not, Dan is on the case

With no map contact set to on, I can go for day without seeing a merchant. Mean while I'm getting on station with a full load of torps to complete the mission.
It's easy to guesstimate convoy routes around Jawa sea y'know. The reason I sun out of torps and ammo is because taking on a covoy in shallow waters requires sending the DDs to the bottom first. That's on average 1.5-2 torps per DD. Convoy routes seem to change little or not at all during '42. Gets boring to play in shallow waters after a while.

I don't mind haveing the same patrol 2 or 3 times, yes its boring, but once being transferred to Brisbane, I have the Marshal Is. 4 or 5 times, boring but mostly I have NO AMMO can not dock anywhere, Refit only gives torpedoes, NEVER AMMO. and no ships in the area... I have to leave the area to find SHIPS..

Sorry but the cost of SH4 ($50.00) is not worth the problems and errors created, I have never had this many problems with the previous SH series...
Please - Stop acting like Microsoft and shipping, mostly broken stuff.
patch v1.2 totally messes up the graphics. the map is brown and blue lines, YUK, trying to submerge is almost impossible, I have to FIRE 2 or 3 time to get a tropedo to fire, sitting in Port - Brisbane. I receive more damage then I ever had on a patrol, then I have to reset the speed control after P for periscope depth it goes to 0. and A crashes every time...

Default Multiple Missions Same Place.

I bought a condo in the Palau Islands. Completed three patrols there and headed back tonight. It is not like I sink the same ships, there is something different each time. Like the man said that is where the war is. This time I got a large convoy on the radar screen. I got ready to attack. There was a carrier in my scope. I checked the book, it was a fleet carrier USN. I was just a few minutes from being in deep Sh-- ah DO, DO. DDs were closing fast. LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS - OH MY! what do I do? I saved the game and surfaced. I did not get killed but I had DDs all around me. I think if I had stayed down and had been found, I think they would have attacked. That has never happened on my trip to the Palau Islands before. I think I will get a native wife, so I can tell my grandchildren how I almost sunk the American fleet. :rotfl:

I also have a patrol mod installed that the read me said I don't have to do the same missions. I must have missed something. Anyway, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

I smile with glee everytime Im assigned the Marshells.

Talk about target rich ... phew !

Oh speaking of Palu.

I was given the photo recon there again. Except this time I had a full load of munitions. In a Balo no less.

Long story short. Scratch two flat tops.

The pickets complained loudly but we were able to avoid them and escape without a scratch.

Crew was nearly orgasimic.

SW were those flattops - Ours or Theirs? :rotfl:

Take a picture of my house the next time you're down that way. It is right on the beach, you can't miss it.

Just out of confusion. Does anyone know if there was really an American Convoy with four flattops, two heavy crusiers and more support staff than I can count on my fingers & toes, steaming SSW past Guam in early to middle February 43?

When the bugs get fixed, what will we gripe about then?

Well Palu was still in the IJN's hand at this point, and they had rising sun flags so I assum they were IJN ships.

I havent seen the large allied convoy you speak of but its a big ocean.

Nice going - You know I was just kidding about the "ours or theirs" thing. No offense meant.

I kind of wish I had stayed down, just to see if I would have been attacked by our ships. They were pinging.
