Doing and completing missions

[Football Fan]

Hello,

I`m not really experienced player and have a bit of a problem with doing and completing missions. For example one of the first where you have to patrol british coast and sink 50000 tons. I went there and was on patrol close to shore sink over 60000 tons and returned to new base(i read that it can change during patrol) but when I talk to this guy that gives missions the one that i thought i made was still available. Am i doing something wrong ?

Welcome aboard Football Fan!

I just finally completed that mission on my 3rd patrol. Haven't had a chance to turn it in though. When you're in the Nav Map (M key) do you see the little cross for "British Coastal Area" filled in grey? If so I guess it's marked as complete. Mine is at least.

Make sure your tonnage is sunk inside the patrol area (which is indicated by clicking on the mission cross)

As you accumulate tonnage towards the goal, the little white bar underneath the mission description will fill up. Once you hit the goal, the little cross inside the mission description box will be filled in.

thx for welcome and help guys :) To be honest I might have sunk few ships outside this red zone, do I understand this correct that the zone in which you should hunt is between coast and red line and if you do it outside it may not count ?

Welcom Aboard

The red line is the approximate path that british ships take to go from coast to coast, Your tonnage will count to the right or to the left, of the line, you just can't be too far away from it. At least thats how the tonnage was being counted for me.
