Remember to keep sending patrol reports to base. I have been doing this at midnight each day of the patrol and orders are updated all the time. In 14 days at sea i have done 2 "patrol region" missions and a "photo op" mission during the same patrol.

Each time I came within 120-55 nm of the "flag" to get the "search region and destroy shipping" part of the mission. One of the missions I sank 2 ships and the other I shot down 1 aircraft. I was on patrol for max 48 hrs each.

Keep headquarters informed.

P.S. On second patrol i dropped off a supply raft and didnt get any further instructions. I headed for a area that might have targets and just after my midnight report I got notified to go patrol a sea to the north.

Again. Keep HQ informed.
-------
Also. I suspect that someone could read this better than I, but it looks like the time is set: (see this example)

[Objective 1]
ObjName=Patrol Honshu 01_Objective1
Obj=7
ObjType=0
RenownAwarded=200
AreaName=Patrol Honshu 01_Zone1
AreaType=0
Presence=0
Time=2880.000000

2880min / 60 = 48 hrs
----
Again: It looks like you have to get within a certain range as well: Example

[MapZone 1]
Name=Patrol Honshu 01_Zone1
Radius=100.000000
MaxHeight=1000.000000
MinHeight=-1000.000000
Long=16761500.000000
Lat=4170000.000000
Height=0.000000

LOng and LAt plus Range. 100 what? miles?
