Weird problem with the campaign.
 

I'm up to Happy Days, and I have 2 missions that cover the same zone of operation, one where I must sink 10 allied ships, and another that requires 200,000 tonnes of merchant shipping destroyed- I took the mission for 10 ships- I sunk a British carrier and Battleship (I think these 2 counted any ways), and one other misc merchant and they counted towards my number (merch counted towards the other mission objective of 200,000 tons) And then I went home and ended patrol because I sustained damage during a deep escape dive.

I requested the mission again and went to my zone sunk some merch's BDu told me to patrol wherever and the RTB- I noticed though that the ships I'm sinking isn't counting towards my number of ships sunk, BUT the tonnage is counting towards the other objective- What's going on?

Could it be because the mission says to sink 10 ships transporting war supplies and what I'm sinking isn't actually carrying war supplies?

Use the Reduced Mission Tonnage v02 mod. The stock SH5 200,000 ton requirement is a bit too much. RMT mod cuts it in half for the missions.

All objectives are open once they appear on the map. So if you meet the requirments for one area and another area is overlapping - both will count.

You do not need to select the objective for it to be active:up:

I like GT182 would recommend a campaign mod, but this one OHIIv2:D

When searching for a War supplies ship, they will have a clear give away if you look at their decks, on top of the deck will set an object(s) that will look like a piece of Military Hardware, like a tank, some cannons or ammunition crates.
If you are close enough you can use your periscope to look in their deck to see what they are carrying as "External cargo"

And another piece of information, when you sink a ship carrying war supplies, the ships name will be "Large Steamer (War Supplies)"
They share the same skin as the Liberty Ship, and that makes them easy to identify.

Thanks guys- Also.. Trevally- Do I want to get the FULL OHII or the Base + Parts? What's the difference?

Here is a Visual example of two types of External War supplies.

Skarmy, get OHII v2 Full. You won't need the Reduced Mission Tonnage mod with OHII. Also get OHII Mission Fix WA [Western Approaches]. Take a look at Sober's mod list and use all that you want.... in the order he has them listed. And yes you can leave some out. I have and my mod soup is running ok. ;)

With my OHII v2 I don't get the equipment on the decks. I believe there's a mod that will do this as I've had equipment shown before.

So what version of OHII are you using?
I have not witnessed the Equipment on the decks since I installed OHII, I used the Mission Editor to spawn these ships. (They are actually German Ships with American Shermans on them :D)
But then again, I have not had OHII for long and have not yet go that that, I keeprestarting my game when I get certain mods.
