I agree at some level, pepsi. Of course I also think many of the special ops missions are absurd. Any spy drop offs to japan, and all the harbor photography missions.

the problem would be that if you had a special mission over and over again, not a patrol. Say I fixed all the missions. PH special missions would be early war supply to Bataan, later you'd get some beach defense photog missions (tarawa, etc). Brisbane gets coastwatcher drops, and various Philipines stuff for MacArthur. Ditto Freemantle.

Those would be cool, but if you got "deliver a coastwatcher to Vella Lavella" 5 times in a row... kinda lame.

Or if you have to go photograph Tokyo harbour twice in a row. I would hazard a guess and say more times after that but i died on my way out the second time and started up a new career in a sugar boat and is way more fun.

Yup, special missions repeating is not correct. Makes me wonder whether the mission selection is simply a random pick. I have my iPod choosing songs randomly. It's surprising how often it will play the same artist two times in a row

Which files/area holds the missions? And how does the software pick them (for as far as we know)?
