Mission Help: Engage enemy shipping

ddales · 07-23-2007, 01:04 PM

Hi all,

In SH4 (1.3 patched) many things have changed compared to SH3, including my understanding of patrols.

For example, I chose the Asiatic fleet and started in the Phillipines. The Flips were overrun after the 2nd or 3rd mission and I safely got to Suribaya. Now I'm supposed to deploy to the Flips and engage enemy shipping. No problem. I get to my way point, first mission objective complete. I start patrolling, and patrolling and........... IT NEVER ENDS!

Question: Am I supposed to patrol the area containing my way point (Star) for a certain amount of time? Or am I supposed to go all over the place in the Phillipines and blow stuff up to complete the second mission objective?

Thanks in advance!

If the star is grey, look for stuff to sink.

If the star is colored in, then you need to stay in the area, usually for 48 hours.

You need to sink 10,000 tons (I believe that number is correct) of enemy shipping in your patrol area to complete the objective.

Thanks for the help. 1st: The way point did turn grey so I'll hang out only in that area for a while. 2nd: I'll make sure I get enough tonnage and see what happens.

Appreciate it!

Take note that when the star turns grey you DO NOT have to hang out in the area. You are free to cruise the pacific find shipping and sink it... .anywhere.

And check your Objectives ("M" Key... can't remember which tab) and you will see when you have completed your "Sink Ships" onjective.

Yeah, those tonnages are set kind of high. I guess the success is only to get the renown though, which is pretty meaningless.

I dont know if its still the same but one large modern liner usually covers about 90% of what is required.

I know that once I complete a mission and radio my status I get a new mission. Give that a try.

If you have munitions (torpedoes) left. If your low or out you will not recieve new orders.

But thats easy to fix. Go get re-fitted and file another report. You will recieve new orders.

Yea, just keep sinking stuff until completed. I don't know what the figure is. 10k may be right. I don't pay that much attention.
