Yes sir, My new base is at Brenan. The only reason I new this was when I looked I saw a SUB symbol over the Brenan base. So I went there and I was able to end my mission finally.

Thank god too. Think the cook was sharpening his knives... And we were all out of meat.

Yeah I did that... No they wanted me too actually continue my patrol....

No idea if that sub symbol appeared after I sent the report or not.. I did that awhile ago... So I don't know if they are connected to be honest. My next partol if I can stomach it... I will see.

This is the last game I will ever by from UBI.. Sorry but if your going to delete post on the Official Forums with a legit question. Then I'm done.

Looks like it will be up to the modders to actually fix this game. UBI too busy doing damage control to actually care.

Are you sure it was deleted? Maybe it was merged into a "How do I..."
thread.

It does not make any sense to delete your question, because it is certainly a fair complaint, and you worded it well. I'm impressed with the great level of support other guys here have posted, you would think Ubisoft would be helping with this kind of support in their forum, not ignoring it. I mean, if the game has issues, then Ubisoft should man up to it and say "the game has issues, we will try to help you with it."

I've had this problem, too. I finished a patrol and sailed back to Kiel, ending up right on top of the home base icon. For me, it seemed that there was a bug that caused the 'status' icons at the top of the screen to disappear. I had to save and reload in order for the 'dock' icon to show up.

I've found that this happens with a lot of things. The game doesn't seem to handle TC very well.

This kind of thread just shows how much of a joke the manual is.

No I have auto TDC on (which is a joke) but Since I could not dock I just kept sailing back to port reloading and go back to hunting. My first 2 loads I could not hit anything. Because I did not understand the TDC (still really don').

But I think I reloaded at the port 5 times.

Sank 6 ships that totaled just over 50K.

1 was a huge ocean liner. I must of caught a troop transport convoy because there were like 10 of them. But I only sank one though. I hit another but it did not sink.

Oh and My post on ubi magically showed back up again after about half hour after I complained in this thread. I most certainly was gone though.

Also having problems with this. Head over to Wilhelmshaven and park right on top of the icon but it won't let me dock. It even lights up but does nothing. Help please!!

Ouch, 50-100k? That's an insane tonnage for one boat! I cannot even imagine sinking that many in several patrols, let alone one. I suppose the thinking behind this is that it keeps you in the action for longer, but really, that kind of tonnage is just ridiculous.

If one U-boat was racking up those kind of amounts on each patrol, the war would soon be over!
