May I borrow this thread?
I remember that when at SHIII you got mission to patrol at grid X, all one had to do was to stay at that particular place for 24 hours and the mission was accomplished, right?
But what about SHIV:
I've got this mission to "Patrol Luzon strait" and this star icon with binoculars inside it at map. How long I have to stay there untill my mission is accomplished? Or is there somekind of needs to sunk X tons of enemy ships, or how does this work at SHIV?
So far I've patrolled this grid where icon is, over and over again. Going N to S, S to N, SW to NE, NW to SE but it wont come accomplished. I've reported numerous times to the base, I even spotted this enemy task force nearby (didnt have torps left to engage it...) and reported it to HQ.
HQ answered: "Good find X Will direct further assets to intercept X Break contact and RTB at your discretion X". Whatever that means...
