How do I switch bases? Am I bugged?

Im in August 1940 and I stil cant switch to Lorient to get the IXB sub. When I apply for a transfer only the 1st and 7th fotilla are available. My base even switched to Brest from Willhelmshaven. Wtf do I do to switch to Lorient?

Maybe it's not formed yet.

Why do they deny you changing most times?

Whats the point?

You're close transferring to Lorient, it starts operating around September-1940.

Here's a list of flotillas and start/end dates. I found it posted here last May (posted by 'HammFist'?, but can't find it anymore). I think flotilla data was collected from SH3 v1.3, but seems accurate for v1.4

I keep a print-out of this list, it's very handy when playing SH3.

_____
notes:
VIIC/41 becomes available around October-1943.

VIIC/42 becomes available around Janurary-1944.

XXI around October-1944 (??), assuming you're not using the Real Uboat mod.

urseus, After transfer to a new flotilla, I think you must serve at least 2 patrols (or 60 days?), before being able to transfer to another flotilla.

Thanks for the list, are you running the RUB mod? I know there are differences in the dates in this mod. Also where is the IXD2?

I don't have the RUB mod installed.

I'm not sure what date the IXD2 arrives, but will eventually become available at the 2nd, 10th and 12th flotillas.

_alphaBeta_ · 09-11-05, 08:40 PM

Excellent! I've been looking for a list like this for awhile. Interesting enough, the 2nd flotilla is still showing as being available from the beginning of the war.

Dr. Trespasser · 09-12-05, 10:08 PM

is anyone running the RUB mod? if so have you ever gotten the IXD2 in any game in that mod? Its my long term goal so I would like to know what Flotilla to be in.
