CTD - it's not just a job

Yeah, but you wouldn't want a new boat either, if that's what the game is insistent upon doing... but would it just transfer you doing that and start giving you the new assignments, or would it transfer you and give you one last Black Sea assignment anyway? That'd be just as bad as what it does now... I suppose just quitting the career and ignoring the new assignment is probably easier. Just Start a new career...

it gave me the default new mission which is a North Sea mission...with the IIB. however, it did the back-in-time date-thing (assigning me a departure date of August 25 on August 26) and it left me without a home base. it was my goal to be retired after August 25 but i guess that didn't pan out as expected. so to recap...on the day we arrived back at home base after a mission: my Flotilla expires and with it both my home port and my boat expire. the current Roster end date for a Black Sea IIB is 19451231. i wonder what the game would do if i changed that to 19440825, matching the Flotilla, Constanza, and IIB? i think i may try that scenario.

made the Roster change while in port. shoved off on a repeat of what should have been the last mission in the Black Sea on August 20 or 21st. sunk some ships, took some damage, returned to Constanza on August 25/26. was offered the same upgrade and refused it. our boat stayed in Constanza on August 26 despite the FLot, the Base, and the Boat being expired on August 25. we were assigned the same North Sea mission as we were previously. we shoved off from Constanza and a week or so later we were just west of Gilbraltar (Sept 1?) and had no home base assigned. according to the latest Save file, we are still assigned to Flot 30 in Constanza. i think it's broke, Hawkeye.

... probably the same way it ends the Type IIB in the Black Sea...
I haven't tried the Cachalot class yet, but it does run out of missions and home port at Pearl 1943-02-14... I bet you go into suspended animation with it also... sigh - shtinking irritating frustrating game... lol I would almost guarantee you two slices of hot, buttered toast that the same holds true for S-Boats as well as the Narwhal / Nautilus... Emergency surgery might be needed to save the patient!!! |

one problem is keeping enough bases open between the Black Sea and Germany to enable a little IIB to make it the whole, long way. i'll look for a Flot that HAD IIB's so that then the Black Sea IIB shows up she will be upgraded to a 7 or a 9 or whatever. or somehow, arrange for a message to be sent to the user that says you need to voluntarily end your career in August 1944.

I thought more about the Cachalot and Narwhal, and they're fine, because unlike the Black Sea campaign, their base of operations isn't ending, just the boat, and since there are other boats at the base, you 'upgrade' boats automatically (in theory) when the old one expires. |

then why can't we continue with the breakage and when the IIB/BS expires, convert her to a Type VIID, while still in the Black Sea, assign her the same Thames mission or some such, and transfer her to Bergen, where the VIID lives?

That might work, young feller... but you still might get a Black Sea mission... only one way to find out! lol
