Help Regarding Base change

TomcatMVD · 02-01-08, 01:11 PM

Ahoy Kaleuns!
I came accross a situation here... I´m on my 10th patrol on Stock SHIII. Right before leaving my pen (from Wilhemshaven) I get a radio message saying that the base was changed to Brest... however, on my briefing still says "return to: Wilhemshaven" and... the most important thing... Brest is not showing on the map! So I was wondering wether I should return to Wilhelmshaven and discard the message, or try to find Brest... maybe googling it???
Any advise will be really appreciated!
Thanks!

Well since you mentioned google - I'm going to presume your not familiar with where Brest is. N/W tip of France, bay of Biscay. Look below England on the map, BF 28 just above BF 52. Just go there, don't worry about what the breifing still says.

If it aint on the game map you can't possibly go there

Brest shows up in stock

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.
