cant pass mission?
 

hi, i was able to completed the tutorial but after that i cant seem to complete a mission... no matter how many ships i sink i can never get *past* 25k tons (used the lite campaign mod) and i know ive sunk more than that :shifty:. i started a new campaign and skipped the tutorial and still cant pass it. i have a legit copy and is there anyway to fix/bypass/mod this? any help would be appreciated :salute:

ill reinstall it tomorrow c if that works :-?

Where are you sinking the ships? They need to be in that general area to count. They also can't be German. :) (Nearly sunk a German tanker myself in the Channel just now... eep!)

Well I dont know, but I seem to be in the same boat as some others here on this cant complete mission thing too now. It's this coastal waters mission, first official patrol. Got the bar full on the mission button, I've sunk 13 ships for 99,000 somethin tons and still says incomplete and BDu just keeps sending back the same thing when I send status report.
Continue X operation.
Now we are empty of ammo again, and well im without a clue.
Geuss we are heading back to port, nothing else to do out here.
Maybe when we get back thats when it will say complete?

The radio message won't do anything really. And if the bar has like || that much left at the end, it's really full. Head back to your current base (probably Wilhelmshaven, near Bremen) and End Patrol, see if it's not counted as complete then. Missions can be completed across patrols.

Yep thats what it has to be, just go home. Cause the mission only called for 50,000 tons and I got double that, and yeah they were all in the right area alright. Heh, yeah I hit the mother lode tonight. Caught a really huge convoy in verrrry rough sea. So rough the sound guy was who found them, and we were on the surface! Yeah, the bow was under water so much of the time you could get sound contacts when surfaced.

I sank half the convoy, and three of'em with the deck gun, yeah thats right deck gun ops in rough seas. I couldnt believe it. I just tried it to see and dang if they went and manned the gun and fire away. They missed a bunch, but hit more often that I thought possible in that sea.:o

Ahhh, never mind. It just took a little while for the order to go through. Just got my return to port orders.
Ahhh, the crew is happy. Even the WO had something different to say now.

i sunk way over 50k tons in the coastal area and radio reported them and still nothing. i return to base, and it shows i sunk like 15 ships in the area, but it still says i need 50k. wtf :damn:

The message will not change when you click the icon in the area you patrol
If you have sunk enough tonnage and you are in base talking to the officer there
if you click the icon on his mission map it will say how much tonnage you need
to complete the mission But NO request mission button will be shown.
this means it is completed also if you look at your own map when on your sub
the Total Germany instruction /Information showing in the top left hand corner
will show a filled in cross as shown in the screen shot above this also means
that the British costal waters mission is complete.
so sail around the British isle and start the second part :salute:

When clicking on the round icon with the iron cross in it, a box appears that has a white bar at the bottom, when that is full you have fulfilled the mission. But it will be sometime later that the radio message to cease all operations and return to base will come.
My return order didn't come till I had just almost reached the second waypoint you see in this shot over to the right on the map, which also shows the mission icon opened up and the white bar full.

In the canal tanker sinks you :O:

Is it just me or does that bar never really fill up? It gets to like 99%

I thought the same thing, but upon looking at it closer both ends of the bar have a tiny bit that looks like there's a bit left but not so apparently.

If you copy that image I posted, then open it with picture and fax view and zoom in close you can see this.
And once that return to base message comes, you can see also the iron cross in the mission box in the upper left corner of the map have turned white. And in the overall campaign portion you see that the first two crosses have turned white indicating the first two missions are complete.

So those iron croses at the top represent your overall progress in the campaign?

Okay got it...

see your cross coloured in on the display in top left of map under "british coastal waters" you have completed the mission either return to base and finish patrol or start the other mission (you don't have to request it in the mission briefing you can just do it).

ok... but still.. any time i sink a ship nothing happens. i go back to port, its like i didnt even do anything. sailed around england sinking crap all over the island and still nothing. :zzz: o well guess i have to wait for a patch or mod or something

Isn't that a "pirate trap"? One of the "bugs" the devs left in for those that run a cracked copy of the game?
