Soerabaja photo recon - odd mission

peabody · 04-15-09, 08:27 PM

Actually he is right, there is a photo mission to his home port. I just checked the Campaign files and the photo mission start date is Dec 1941, but we don't lose the base until March 1942. So he just happened to get it before we lost the base.
I had a similar mistake at Manila. We lost the base but I got a mission there and was ready to attack merchants, but the merchants entering the harbor were flying US flags.
So, Bedbug you have run into one of the bed-bugs in SH4.

Maybe Admiral Nimitz wants a picture for insurance purposes.

I'm now based in freemantle after the fall of soerabaja to the japs. But i'm on a mission to recon the port and photograph some ships.

Situation: in the middle of the enemy port,underwater about 500m from contact.
stormy weather rain thunder and waves.. I can spot 3 merchant ships and what appears to be a destroyer or a fast cruiser...but the periscope wont even recognise there's a ship there. So cant lock on cant take pictures.
Saved there
Surfaced and was shot to death.
Reload my saved file. Waited til morning looking from time to time but still no lock no pictures....got found and blown to pieces

Is there a way to succeed this mission or do i have to go back home without completing the objective
