Finishing Objectives
 

Does anyone know how or better where I can check what is necessary to finish objectives?

I sank plenty of ships (80.000brt) on the British coastal but the objective is still ranked "running" and not "finished"
:hmmm::hmmm::hmmm:

Hi RMD
If you are playing the stock game then the number of ships you sink and the total tonnage does not always count towards completing the mission.
You have to sink the right ships (Ship type) that are included in the particular Mission, these ships and tonnage totals then go towards completing the Mission.

80,000 tonnes is enough to complete your current Mission but, you have not sunk the correct ships to complete it.

Go to C:\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\Savegames\Last save game number by date and time\Campaign first folder\Campaign cfg

Scroll down through the data and look for the Mission that you are doing.
You are only interested in the 2 blocks of data below.
1.Amount < Shows you what this Missions objective is.
1.CRT Amount < Shows your total to date in this Missions objective.

IsTonnage=true < Means this Missions objective is only looking for tonnage and not ships.

[Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 5.PersObj 1.Amount] < This Missions objective details.
IsTonnage=true < Tonnage is this Missions objective.
Tonnage=70000 < Tonnage needed to complete this Mission.
NumOfShips=0 < Ships are not this Missions objective.

[Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 5.PersObj 1.CrtAmount] < Always look for the CRT Amount as it shows where you are in the Missions objective.
IsTonnage=false < Will show as false.
Tonnage=29000 < Shows the tonnage total to date counting towards completing this Missions objective.
NumOfShips=0 < Ships are not this Missions objective.

[Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 5.PersObj 1.Amount] < This Missions objective details.
IsTonnage=false < Tonnage is not this Missions objective.
Tonnage=0 < Tonnage is not this Missions objective shows 0.
NumOfShips=5 <This Missions objective is to sink 5 enemy ships.

[Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 5.PersObj 1.CrtAmount] < Always look for the CRT Amountas it shows where you are in the Missions objective.
IsTonnage=false < Tonnage is not this Missions objective.
Tonnage=0 < Tonnage is not this Missions objective shows 0.
NumOfShips=1 < Shows 1 of the 5 ships needed to complete this Missions objective has been completed.

If you want to see what is happening when you have finished a gaming session then create a desktop shortcut of your SaveGames folder.
