gear Patrols--campaign still going ? Not sure

Should I be worried about the campaign ?
I am in Jan/Feb 40 but my captains log still shows a primary mission for Sept of 39.
It is to sink shipping in AM 5153. (I got that msg. way back in Sept 39)

The South western app. just popped up and I still have the northern one until April/May. Map upper left of screen has a sunk ship Icon next to the North Western App. and nothing next to the Swestern one.(might just I.D. the one I am currently working on... do not know)
I do not seem to be getting any Renown for all the ships I have been putting to the bottom....All my sinkings have 00-00-0000 in Captains log but I fix that right before I go in to Refit.

Any Ideas or Help would be great...

Thanks in advance

I would not worry.

Those old missions will still be showing up as the campaign goes on. I'm in Jan of 40 and I still see Baltic, Scapa, etc.

I'm in the northern approach and the southwest approach came up as well. The sunk ship icon means you are in an anti shipping mission in the north approaches.

The 00-00- thing is a bug for the sunk ship date. Has nothing to do with renown. You will not get renown until you end your patrol and dock back at base..

You will get points towards medals, points you can use to upgrade your ship, and your crew!

So really the patrol in the captain log is from stock game and does not really matter ?

THEBERBSTER has tutorials to make it work, but I never mess with it. If you are a really into messing with files just to show a date, then go ahead.

TWoS will give you red radio messages if your campaign chapter reaches the end of its period, so you will know exactly what you need to do, follow EXACTLY these instructions, or you won't advance! I just tell this because they are really *IMPORTANT* orders (not from BDU but from Veko the TWoS Maker, hehehe...)


Except this, you get more renown to spend for your sub upgrades and more moral points for your crew (1 per succeeded patrol order) , but AFAIK only once you have returned to the bunker. Sinking ships will give you immediate morale points to spend for the crew. I have just sunken 2 medium ships, 1 tanker of 7000 tons and a 2000 tons freighter, after that 2 morale points were available for me to spend, and these sinkings will also count later when you return in the bunker.


Sinking ships gives you *much more* in any cases, succeeding the patrol orders and objectives give you only minimal extra points. That's what I have seen up to now while playing.

If they are not reported in your Captain's Log with a tonnage, then - technically - you didn't sink them
Maybe they have sunken because of rough weather? In that case you don't get any credits, sorry.
Another reason for not receiving credits: You did sink them in the past and got credtis, then you reload game, and meet again the same ships (can happen, depending how you play), in that case > 0 credits the 2nd time
