TXS guys...er...captains!

I play at 100% realism and my previous experience with SH3/GW has had some good carry over to my PTO experience. Although I employ the constant bearing approach with manual firing, the US PK seems to be a nice little tool/aide that the U-Boats didn't have.

To complete my mission successfully, as objective #6 still is incomplete...after my refit will I have to drive back 2500 nm to the incomplete objective site to have a successfully completed patrol?

If so, will HQ then give me another objective...when does a captain quit getting new objectives while on patrol?...should I just fire off a couple of torps to get my inventory under 5 as klyesplanet mentioned?

TXS

PS- 3 of my six sinkings were single merchant ships in the East China Sea, I picked off another two merchants in a 6 ship convoy escourted only by two corvettes...like shooting fish in a barrel! HOWEVER...I did sink a Maya Heavy Cruiser at night off the eastern coast of the Philippines...believe it was a 6-7 warship convoy that was heading S-SE...the convoy was headed almost directly at me...just went to periscope depth, squared my boat up on a constant bearing...fired 4 torps from 750 yards, all hit and the cruiser went down in 10 minutes. Ah, Lady Luck and good fortune.
