Were you not able to click on the bases showing on the list? There are certain timeframes where it is indeed possible to thread yourself through the Advance Bases with some of the boats, but it is a rather complicated spiderweb, with landmines liberally planted throughout, so it is best to not attempt, unless you spreadsheet the flotillas, and make a plan prior to your first move. We are attempting to have said documentation with this next release, so that a person can decide beforehand how "historical" they want to be. Some of the Advance Bases will transfer their boats, others won't, and most of the "normal" bases will not transfer automatically either, leaving the player's options open, hopefully. No one wants to transfer to a dead-end location, nor have a CTD absolutely ruin their immersion... |
Ahoy, propbeanie..
Ok, so Freemantle is a viable option to transfer to in a Gato... just NOT until July.. if I am understanding that correctly...
If that is correct, then I got a wee bit of a wait, then. Is like April, right now of '43, in game. I count mid year being the middle 4 months.
When I clicked on the phone when I was in base (before heading out on My 9th patrol..
) the ONLY locality, that was open to do a Transfer to, was Pearl. It was noticeably clickable. Midway & Tulagi, were not, were duller & not noticeable as to being able to be selected.. at all. Could see them but no indication that I could click on them to select doing a transfer there...
At this rate, am going to hold on to the Gato... for a good while, & just bide the time til I can then see of doing a transit back to Freemantle as My base...
Will see of maybe taking a Balao as a new boat, in early on '44... that is, if I don't get blasted to kingdom come in the meantime... or I get the heave ho by Command, to a desk job or training post... or drummed out due to PTSD...
M. M.
p.s
Will look forward to that documentation, so as to be able to historically plot out base transfers & hopefully the snafu's being squashed... not causing issues like was faced by... (dang, know who it was, just can't recall the name.. but any who..) with the Tulagi> forward base from there incident.. confirmed by Me & KaleunMarco...
