Will there be a patch 1.4?

From what I've read in "Silent Service" most boats patrolled in certain areas (Honshu, Formosa Strait and Philipines were the most common destinations I believe) and most skippers were sent to the same location, time and time again. Only the Narwhal class boats and occasionally some float boats did anything other than patrol an area and rake up tonnage.

Furthermore, special ops like dropping off agents and the like was mostly done by the Australian based boats. Pearl boats rarely got involved except when serving as shields for taskforce operations.

So, it should be repetitive I think. Furthermore, it doesn't really matter where you sink your ships, does it?

Of course this could be a feature. But for example do you find it normal to get the agent insertion every time ? I tried to see how much time it would last. I have done (completed objectives) the mission again and again. I gave up after more than ONE YEAR (in the game). Do you know a real sub which only did agent insertion missions during more than a year ?
There are many evidences that show it is a bug : one of them is every time i come back to harbour I have the same screen with the same medal the same date and the same patrol number. When after 10 (completed) patrols, in December, I am told I have just been awarded for my 2nd patrol in August, I can't tell it's a feature.

Like I said a few posts back, repeating special missions, like agent insertion and photo missions, shouldn't be repetitive. But having to go to the East China Sea or Formosa Strait should be repetitive as that was the bread and butter of subs.

And yes, there were three subs in the US Navy that did mostly special ops: Narwhal, Nautilus and Argonaut. That happened basically because they were too big and slow (took them ages to dive for example) to do convoy attacks. But the Narwhal class isn't part of the game, so...
