Even got to 2000 yds of target ship and nothing. So am I missing step here.
Also, when you receive a mission and it show a yellow star with binoculars, does that indicate that you are to photo ship or land. Have notice when star has a triangle flag, will change when arrive at assigned area and start mission and will show completed.

Thanks, David
I've also noted that if you arrive at the port too soon, the target ships may not have arrived, and therefore you cannot photo them. Conversely, if you take too long to get there they may already have sailed, leaving non-target ships behind. Once in the harbor, look carefully at ALL the ships. Some are photo targets, some are not. Whatever you do, unless you have the juiciest target in the world, do not sink any ships that may be headed to the port you are supposed to enter. You may well sink the ship you were supposed to photograph, and thus will never complete the mission (not that completing it matters a whit to anyone but you, as long as that happens infrequently). The target ship must be in the port. Don't know if it has to be stationary, but it has to be in the port. Good luck!
