[convoy hunter]

Hello all
I would like to know why my mission objectives are always "patrol area".
When I choose Germany 's blockade it said that I have sink 5 ships but for the objective I get patrol area again and again.

[kylania]

Patrol zones and the Missions you choose before the patrol are totally separate.

[convoy hunter]

So I must sink 5 ships and the mission will be done?

[kylania]

Well, yes and no. That particular one is 5 specific ships, but yes, as you sink ships that qualify for missions those missions are updated as being completed or partially completed regardless of whatever patrol objectives you had.

Thanks admiral Kylania

[convoy hunter]

I was wondering do I have to sink 5 ships in one go?

[kylania]

Nope, missions can be completed across any number of patrols, as long as they are completed by the date listed on them.

[convoy hunter]

But I have sinked 50000 tons for the first mission and it is still active.

[kylania]

Yup, totally different mission.

Total Germany has 4 'missions' to complete before June 1940.

1. Sink 50,000 tons near the east coast of England
2. Sink 100,000 tons in the Southern Approaches
3. Sink 5 ships in the Norther Approaches and 1 Aircraft Carrier in the south

Then once March 1940 arrives, you get Operation Wesserbung or something, which is sinking a bunch of warships up north by Narvik, Norway.

The 5 ships are "troop transports", found near Loch Ewe.

[convoy hunter]

yes but when i sank 50000 tons for the mission it wasn't completed or something.

[convoy hunter]

Please post

[kylania]

The 50,000 needs to be sunk near the area marked, something like 100km from the coastline I think? I'll try to find the picture that shows that, gotta run to a meeting real quick.

Chances are that you weren't sinking them in the right area matey.

This thread may help you

Edit - sorry linked the wrong thread , will try to find the one I'm thinking of

I've not been able to find it mate - could try the faq's thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=162934

Or try a search of the forum yourself - there's a walkthrough in there somewhere.

Good luck matey

[kylania]

Can't find the thread I've been looking for, but this is basically it:

Sink them within 100km of that red line for them to count.
