Convoy Report Bug?

[Wolfhound]

I was patrolling off the north coast of the Philippines and saw a "task force" consisting of a single medium gunboat and a destroyer. I reported the contact and was ordered to attack the task force. After sinking both ships, the mission objectives don't update and it remains "incomplete." I'm guessing you have to sink either a certain tonnage or a certain amount of enemy ships to trigger the goal... I would hate to have to take an "incomplete" when I actually destroyed the task force. Anyone got any ideas?

Didnt reach a tonnage requirement is my guess...DD and gunboat are lightweights.While they are a Task Force technically, they are not say a TF such as a carrier etc.They are actually a hunter-killer ASW group, a TF true, game can't tell difference it seems.

Reported a TF, game prob sent that message with a 10k tonnage requirement which anything above a light cruiser will get you easily, you didnt reach that 10k but bc DD and gunboat are small.Just how it goes.Mods fix this though.

Hmm... I know that you can sink merchant ships a thousand miles from your patrol area and it counts on the mission. If I find more warships elsewhere to sink to fill the tonnage requirements could that trick the game into completing the requirements?

yes but it has to be warship for warship or merchant for merchant

you'll probably complete the objective if you manage one or two more DD sunk

in the future dont report unless its a "real" task force, the same goes for merchants so dont report single or double merchants either just sink em :up:
