Firstly, I must apologize if this has already been addressed, but I had trouble finding it in a search.

My question is pretty simple, actually: Using this wonderful mod pack, I noticed that the bar showing the total tonnage required to finish the british coastal waters mission is no longer visible. Sounds good to me (for realism?).

However, not having played in a long time, I cannot remember whether or not a notification is given once I have sunk the required tonnage to complete the mission off the British coast (in order to move on to the patrol area around northern/northwest britain, whatever that one is called).

I have sunk over 20,000 tons within the red line on the eastern coast of England. I also finally learned how to use the kriegsmarine grid system, and completed all the secondary patrol missions, and now with two torpedoes remaining, planning to sink a couple more--though only finding fishing boats and many, many more warships than I saw when I first arrived! So, thinking of just heading back to base and getting some damage repaired which my repairmen can't seem to fix at sea, and seeing if the British Coastal waters shows as complete when I arrive in bunker.

So, again: Will I be notified while at sea that I've sunk enough tonnage while at sea to be able to move on to the next patrol within the first Coastal Waters campaign, or how will I know?

Do people still use KSD Commander

- New sub offer - Rating points gained by sinking capital ships and tankers anywhere in the world
- Medals - Overall tonnage, sinkings of capital ships ''
Vecko can correct me if I am wrong
Yes I am using KSD (elite flotilla /current)

Forgive me if I misunderstood you reply, sober (and thanks for the quick response), but I meant I am confused how much tonnage I need to sink to finish the Eastern Brit Coast operation and move on to Northwest Approaches, if thats' what it's called. Are you saying I should return to base and then the map should say that that operation has been completed? I was under the impression that I should reload at friendly when necessary, and then go out and keep sinking off the east coast with the red line until that op has been completed (ie, sunk enough vessels) and get the 'Finished' status on the screen that shows when you exit: ie, First deployment: finished, Polish thing: finished. Hope I'm making sense. Thanks for tolerating my ignorance.

There is no tonnage that you have to achieve . Look at your orders on the right hand side (captains page) . It says go to grid X . Patrol there for X amount of time . Forget tonnage requirements . The finished status is time based not tonnage based . Use KSD if you want to make tonnage count .
