Why the hell can't I insert the troops!?

I've had this problem over and over. You get a troop insertion mission, or even spy insertion. You get to the yellow star and I go towards it until I hit the beach because the option to launch the boats doesn't appear. I reverse out, try a little further down the beach. No. Hm. Maybe the other way down the beach. No. What the hell.. I eventually lose my temper and order the sub onto the beach at ahead flank...

What's going on?

Sometimes this happens, sometimes the launch troops button appears.

It's neverending with this game.

You have to be on the surface and stop all your engines. A new window will appear, like at the end of patrol or visual contact, and you go from there. Better be 1.5 nm or less from the objective.

You have to approach submerged and then surface within 3 nm or when it gets too shallow and then come to a stop. If you don't surface and then stop you won't be able to insert the troops.

The game is fine. The documentation is the problem. That's why we are here.
