That is, except for the first 10 assignment types, which decide for you whether to track or attack, and maybe what the primary target is. No other renown, other than what you get for the sinkings, less any damage incurred to your boat, of course . Is that what you got? Whatever the initial orders were at origination should still stand... Let us know.

Whatever the initial mission objective was still stands, no matter what you may encounter on the way to accomplishing it.

Mother, pin a ribbon on me (for sinking ships outside of your objectives)! BUT, complete the initial mission sailor! If it states, go to "Section A1" and "Sink all shipping".....go to "Section A1" and do exactly that! Then, you'll accomplish your objective.

the original objective was to deliver Lt Brown and his marines to okinawa, which was successfully completed.
from that point, i was on my own to deliver my torpedos as best i can.
from the GAME aspect, from my experience playing, the more successful secondary objectives one can accumulate, the higher the reward when returning from patrol.



so when i encounter a TF or a convoy, if i radio into cincpac (or whomever), acquire a secondary objective and complete that secondary objective, that counts better/more than just sinking the TF/convoy without the secondary objective. i have learned this the hard way...by just sinking the ships w/o an objective.


this last description is the situation that i described in my initial post. a secondary objective that i appeared to accomplish but the GAME did not give me credit for accomplishing. that is my question.


as a post script, later in the patrol, i encountered a similar convoy, radioed in, received a secondary objective for sinking a freighter. i sank the freighter and fulfilled that objective and then sank a large troop ship and fulfilled the previously unfulfilled objective.



does this supplementary explanation help you understand my question better?
