Ending a mission early. A penalty?
 

Quick question.

I just pulled off an incredible feat (for me . . . at 54% realism). I snuck into Scapa Flow and found a carrier, two auxilliary cruisers and a ton of destroyers. I sank the carrier and cruisers. I made it out into the open sea but took four KIA and two seriously WIA. My mission goals have not been met. In fact, I'm a few thousand miles from my assigend area. I only have about three torps left and there's blood all over the place and my boat has taken quite a beating. I need to go back to Kiel . . . like, now.

I think I've done enough for a Knights Cross on this mission and I've got four sad letters to write, but will my campaign suffer by not reaching/patrolling my assigned area?

You dont LOSE points as such, you just miss out on up to 800 renown.

Plus the rest of us captains are laughing at you from HQ for cheaping out not returning to base.
