Help can't end my patrol

soldat32 · 08-02-08, 05:51 AM

I have the current TM mod installed and I was tasked with a Photo recon mission.I
managed to sink a good deal of tonnage on the way there.Got into the harbor and snapped a ton of pics (Ships locked on) but could not get the "Mission Complete" no matter what I did.I decided Id had enough after surfacing and sinking said ships in harbor.(There were no destroyers or shore batteries at this small port.) and headed for home.Sunk more tonnage along the way.Now Im back at midway but the "End Patrol" button is blacked out.My only options are to refuel/rearm or postpone.Is there anyway to end this mission and head for my next patrol in this campaign?I really hope so because it was a very sucessful patrol as far as ships sunk and I did get the photos.

72 hrs on station?

Certinally sounds like you have met the requirements.

Have you tried phoning home? (Mission Report)

Also give this a read http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=111509

Beerys "How to complete a mission". Just to see you havent over looked anything.

This 'photo recon fix' mod will resolve the issue.

Also, anytime you get back to base and the windoow doesn't allow you to end the mission, click on the anchor at the top right of the screen and the mission will end.

Your base probably changed when you were out sinking ships. Make sure you're at the base with the "tilted" anchor - the one that cocked to the side.

Look down in Austrailia. I bet you're base is now Brisbane or something...

Thanks for the help.It appears the base had changed to Pearl so I had to sail there to end the mission.Got a Bronze star for the patrol.Hopefully next time the recon fix will solve the incomplete problems..
