I have taken Pearl Harbour as home port and first mission was from
Manila(???) to insert agent in north Japan. Now, i did that and the star becomed gray. Went home spend all torpedoes and most of gun ammo ( taking down 35000t

) came to Manila and cant dock, finish mission ( Manila is not still conquered by Japanese), i went to Pearl Habrour and cant dock ( Manila is now conquered), also Midway.
What should i do?
Thx

If you have installed the patches you will see, that one of the anchors on the map representing a port is angled, and that is the port you can dock in

Your home port is the one thats shows the tilted anchor on the map. I think after finishing your initial objective you got a secondary objective, check the "steer" (or what's its name) icon under the options button to check for any additional objectives.

And welcome aboard!

Just FYI.
Asiatic fleet bases go
Manilla then Surabaya then Freemantle.
It was just bad luck you picked the fleet that gets rebased twice in the first 6 months of the war.

EDIT:And yeah, welcome aboard!
