Transfering Flotillas - Advice requested

Deathfrombelow23 · 03-09-08, 08:15 PM

Ok, sorry but I am still not understanding this. Let's say I am at sea on Patrol #10 and I'm based at Kiel. I am thinking that I would like to upgrade to a IXC after this patrol and transfer to the 2nd flotilla in Lorient, so... I am assuming that I would return to Kiel upon completion of my 10th patrol.... once I am back in Kiel, I assign medals to my crew, etc, etc... then I request a transfer to the 2nd flotilla in Lorient and my request is accepted. NOW... do I have to put to sea on my 11th patrol FROM KIEL, go patrol whatever grid they assign me, and THEN head to Lorient? OR will I automatically be transfered with my boat to Lorient? (teleported as someone said earlier, or in RL like I took the train across France).? OR do I begin my 11th patrol, complete it, head to Lorient and THEN request transfer to the 2nd? Sorry this is so complicated. Perhaps someone who understands this and can simply explain it could let us know what order we need to do thing... thanks!

sorry that I am not getting this Kaluens...

When your transfer is approved, you will transfer with your boat and crew.

In some of the add ons available you have to actually make the trip yourself. In SH3 stock version, the game (with no realism at all) magically takes care of it for you.

What I like to do is to use some of my renown to upgrade to a new boat and do the same for some of my opfficers and men. This for me simulates a kind of promotion or perk in being given a transfer and a new command. That portion of the crew that I replace I imagine as being those members who were not allowed (or declined) to make the move with their heroic commander... me.

A big part is imagination and what you make of it. It you prefer to make the trip yourself then try one of the add ons available to force a more realistic transfer.

When you request a transfer at dock, you will be at a different flotilla instantly once you are approved and you will start a new patrol at new flotilla. When the bases changes without your requests, you should check your briefing under mission objectives to see which bases you need to return when you are done with your patrol.
