This is the exact reason why i'm playing with this mod. Been only diving with SH4 U-Boot Missions until recently and since the whole interface etc is new i thought i better go that route. I already read a lot about TDW's new UI, but it was said somewhere that it can be a bit heavy on the fps and my old laptop is barely running SH5..

If you reach the tonnage goal that does not end the mission. If the date of the end of mission comes along and you have not got the tonnage, you fail the mission. That is true no matter how many patrols you took during the mission date range.
So the mission did not end yet since the due date is not reached.. However, the orange "sink here" symbol disappeared after sinking somewhat below 50k [as a reminder, lite campaign tonnage goal is 25k] and the green checkmark for "goal reached" (weak translation, i'm using the German version) appeared, but the mission cross only turned BOLD after sinking 50k in the assigned area.. in both cases i didn't receive a message for a new mission/return to port from BdU, but i could only request the other mission..

Guess i have loads of time for that one since both due dates are 8 months away.. should have some spare time for sneaking into some ports left
