I wonder if anyone can help me...... I am trying to pull into brisbane after a patrol where I have managed roughly 70k in tonnage and can't pull into port w/o the game crashing on me...any ideas? It seems that there are too many friendly ships moving around the harbor and it's taxing the hardware too much I guess.

You have to go to the objective location and drop off a spy. The radius of this mission is usually 3 nautical miles. You have to surface the boat once within this radius and bring the boat to a stop in order to be able to launch the spy's dinghy. Once the dinghy is launched the objective is completed. The option to launch the dinghy will not appear unless you surface, so you can either enter the area submerged or do a quick dive and resurface once at the objective. You usually get 200 renown points for completing this mission.

I just completed an Insertion mission last night & the dinghy launched while I was travelling at 3 knots.

If you guys don't want to pick up pilots or have a nasty mission you don't feel like doing - just sail off and sink ships instead.

I don't know if anyone posted before the same thing, so please excuse me if yes.
While returning from an Insertion Spy mission near Qingdao in the East China Sea (damn, that was hard!) I suddenly received a new mission (I was still in the Sea of Phillipines, around March20,1942):

- Deploy to Iwo Jima (the completion was simple, I've just sailed towards the mark in the middle of the sea, and when I was less than 50-25 miles of the mark the flag turned to grey and I received another mission

:

- Engaje and destroy enemy merchant shipping , which is what I do right now and still try to find out how to complete it (cause I've already sinked a lonely merchant ship, but nothing happened; now I try with "lonely" convoys

)

Thank you for taking the time to help so many of us understand what we are supposed to do. The helps in this game are really pathetic.

One thing I can add from my last patrol. My mission was to sail to a specific port and take pictures. I went there, took pictures of every single ship, still mission was not completed. There was another port not too far away, so I went there on a hunch, took a picture and the mission was accomplished. I love the missions in SH4, definitly an improvement, however sometimes they can get a bit confusing. Great thread, this will be helpful to a lot of people.
