Ok, finished my first patrol.
Got lucky, found a very juicy convoy on the western approaches and took down the destroyers and the biggest ships with torpedoes, and the rest with the deckgun. Precise shots below the water level are very effective in SH5, I found that 5 shots with the deckgun below waterline is enough to sink most merchants (HE shells) and shots in the engine/cargo compartment with the AP shell, with the merchant standing at 45 aob.
Used every shell and torpedo I had, went back to Kiel, got myself the trouble of going all the way inside the den, exactly the same place I left, park with stern first and all, clicked "Dock at Kiel", clicked "end patrol", and got back to the same place I was in the beginning of the patrol, walking in the bunker, being able to talk to a bunch of fellows. Neither of them finished my mission, so I just hit esc and choose exit to main menu.
Then I got this screen:
What am I missing? How can I finish the patrol?
The mission was a success, I needed 70k tons and I got over 200k.
I do NOT understand!
Says "Mission Failed - User exit".
I saved before I hit esc, just in case. Can anybody explain what I'm doing wrong? Where's my "captain's room", the place where I can check my boat, my crew, give and receive medals, distribute attribute and skill points for my men... where where?
