I decided to return to base, where I received medals for the patrol but the screen still said "incomplete." What does it take to complete and does it really matter?

If I recall, in stock game (GFO may not had fixed this) they had the range set pretty like remain within fifty nautical miles for X amount of days and it has to be continuous, so if ventured outside the radius , it starts the clock all over.

If you had the "sink" orders where you proceed to x and patrol, have to sink shipping, the vessels may not have equaled the required tonnage for SH 4 to consider objective met


Could be a bug in GFO as well.


Try reloading your save draw a circle 50 nautical miles using map tools, sit there (can use time compression) and see if it changes to completed.
And.... to add to that, just in case your mission orders were to have full autonomy to sink shipping, might peruse & pursue seeing of some point near there, that is like... a choke point & see of some ships rolling through there, that sinking enough... will knock that completion time bell out of the park, as well.

Hope this helps...
