I followed the coastline on the map all the way down to Cape Town! And Brest is nowhere to bee seen! Of course I mentioned Google as some sort of a joke... but I think I´ll need to sail there blindly and see what I find!
If I go back to Wilhemshaven, I´m still gonna be able to dock there am I not?
I´ll see what happens after I restart the game, maybe then it´ll show.
Tanks guys!

edit: I´ve just tested, on single missions, all the ports show just fine, when on campaign, I´m missing not only Brest, but also St. Nazaire. Should I just not worry until the time of returning home or is there anything I can do?

IIRC - and it's been over two years since I played stock - Brest doesn't show up immediately, it takes a little while (a month or so?).

I see these options:

1. Keep patrolling until it appears (this may take a while);
2. Go within 30kms of the port of Brest and press Esc...all being well it should give you the option to "Dock at: Brest". If it just says "Return to Base" go to option 1;
3. Dock somewhere else, but realise that it will not be your home base and you will have certain limitations.

It's already July 1940, and the problem is that I already got the base change message! And... correct me if I'm wrong... but don't all the ports show even if they are not available for you? They just show in red or green if that was the case right? Anyways... I guess I'll get there once my patrol is finished and see what happens!
Thanks

The "Base changed to: Brest" message will not appear in stock until midnight on 1 Sep 1940. Pls don't confuse it with the "New base available at Brest" message which appears in early July. This message is NOT telling you to go to Brest.

There is a problem in stock with Brest showing - it should show earlier, even if red, but it doesn't.

Anyway, good luck.

Well... "Base changed to: Brest" is the exact message I'm getting... also, when I go to load my savegame for that patrol, if I click on the "after-patrol" options, they say:"Base:Brest"... so I'd say that if anyone is confused... that'd be SHIII
