Default Quick Question - How to Choose New Port

Ahoy everyone,

I just wanted to know how you choose a new port, because using Kiel as the main one is a drag.

And for the first mission (british coastal waters), do you have to sink 50,000 in one patrol? I keep trying and none of my kills register on the little meter.

I have mega mod and darkwraith's UI mod, in case that causes any troubles.

Thanks!

While in the bunker did you click on the flotilla commander ? Did you then click on choose a mission ? Did you then click on an iron cross on the map and accept a mission ? Did you then exit out of the map and click on the flotilla commander again ? Did you then click lets start the new patrol ?

I talked to the guy, heard the little spiel, selected the british coastal waters mission. It told me where to patrol, I killed ships within the little red line along the coast and it didn't seem to budge. :-/

Any word on how to rebase and choose a new home port?

Its an historic ww2 submarine game that tries to teach something about german submarines in ww2 . So basically your base wont be available until the date it was available historically . Some people have said the bar wont fill if playing with an illegal copy . Not saying you have one , just a heads up .

Good to know, just wasnt sure if it was something really simple.

As for why the bar won't fill up, I'll give it a go again, and see if maybe I wasn't in the little zone enough.

The zone is either side of the red line , all the way to the coast and about the same distance the other side of it .
