Ah, caught me on a technicality, Spraug. Crannogman, I think that's part of what's wrong; trusting map contacts. Got me chasing my tail a bit. And patrolling for a month and seeing essentially nothing. I've been reading on when to report status/enemies and such (I only play single player in games like this so not sure how much reporting my status is important to friendly AI). I don't mind the long waits; makes it much more realistic--I shouldn't even say that considering I'm sitting in a comfortable, safe chair using time compression but I can channel my severe spine/knee arthritis as a type of virtual reality to feel discomfort. All I need is some type of stink machine and some sea spray once in a while. I'm going to start over because I didn't get credit for those merchant ships... guess they weren't close enough to the Marshall Islands. Can't be failing my first mission with only like 14% realism. The math and tools are starting to get easier!
