Mission Objectives

Nafod81 · 03-05-10, 08:59 PM

Wouldn't it be nice to have some calrification on the mission objectives.

I'm not referring to the Sink 50,000 tons by June 1st for the British Coast, or 1000,000 for the western approaches...(oh wait I DO have a question about the blockade of germany).

1. Patrol this area
-How long?
-And within what distance?

Twice I've recieved a "Complete" only after sinking a ship, relativley far away from the patrol point. Additionally milling about in the patrol area for long enough prompts a new patrol area assignment. A minor complaint: these patrol areas are often devoid of traffic, with much traffic occuring not to far away, but seemingly outside of the "patrol area" (With SH4 in mind).

Oddly my first completed mission, the objective completed upon sinking a ship, but BDU was telling me to continue onto the next objective, and the captain's log indicated a new objective had been assigned but none was, and the task showed complete.

2. Blockade of Germany, Sink five ships along the northern patrol line

Five what? Capital ships? Escorts? Or will any do? As the purpose of these groups was to limit the maneuvering of german warships I don't see how sinking five helpless merchants in the area helps. But if that's all it takes I guess here goes!

Conclusion

Thank god I don't have to sneak into the Thames to take a picture of the crown jewels. Any one hate those missions in SH4? I sure did.

I think its 5 military ships. Ive only done one patrol in with the british blockaid mission. I sank a armed merch and got one ship credit, but sank 2 other merchs unarmed and it didnt give any credit.

Patrol the area, sink one ship and be on your merry way, is what i have learned.

the other Objectives are set in there marked places, wich you must complete to complete your part of the campaign, total germany that is.

and its 5 warships. not merchants

Yeah i think it needs to be military ships. Not 100% sure yet, but it makes since.

I sank a merchant near the southern end of it and it did nothing. But later on i sank a troop transport, and counted.
