I think 9th cow makes a valid point here. And again someone else offered that if you hit the liner prior to reaching your assigned area without sinking any further traffic once arriving on station then you would still get an incomplete irregardless of the total tonnage.
From experience I have expended all of my ammo and fish in this manor prior to reaching the assigned patrol area and still ended up the mission was incomplete, however on the other hand, I recieved medals along with the crew in addition to the the crew receiving promotions.
In that sence it still just a game with certain criterion to satisfy.
BTW...Sending contact reports has been of no benefit on any of my patrols. I don't wanna talk with'em anyways. I just wanna sink stuff...by any means....
