TLAM bug in 1.09e
 

I've done it a couple times. Target Ark, get caught entering the bay, long steam in, and no target area ever shows up. I didn't launch at the cities, and instead re-tried to see if a target circle would show up from 25 miles. Maybe it's just me.

The circle does not show anymore, its not needed. The mission is marked complete once you have "launched" the required number of missiles.
But if you wish to aim them, then use use the port icon.

Thx. I'll try that. I did still get a target circle for the Seal mission. They off-load automatically, once conditions are right. I suspect the TLAM change is in the notes, in which case 'my bad'?
I may try TLAM'en some ports off-mission for sport (ooops, practice). They're pricey.

Yea it was in the patch notes. theres been quite a few changes so easily missed :)

The Seal missions still need them as you need to be in that area to deploy the Seals, so you need to know where to be :p
