Questions concerning gameplay

hyperion2206 · 03-21-07, 06:28 PM

I hope some of you guys can help me!!! I started my carrer in Pearl in '41 and was ordered to patrol the Honshu Islands, I stayed there for 2 or 3 days and my mission log still says I did not complete this task.
Eventually I went back to Pearl and was awarded the Navy Cross (I sank 7 ships with 28000 tons) but my patrol log says I did not complete any war patrols. The black board still tracks my 28000 tons though.
Any ideas?

Thank you very much! It's bad that they're bugs but it means that I didn't do anything wrong.

Just to make sure: You guys *did* move right unto the yellow target area "waypoint" marked on your map? I noticed I had to move fairly close unto it for the logbook to register reaching the patrol area. After that, you are free to roam (no annoying 24h requirement).

I had this as well. I believe that specific mission task is possibly glitched (it was a patrol zone just northeast of the Tokyo Bay area, right? I had a patrol there which did not register, and a patrol south of Tokyo which went through fine).

This needs to be reported, though I hope the next patch fixes it anyway.

@heartc: I was really close to the symbol so that can't be the reason (at least not in my case).

@CCIP: No I was south-east of Tokyo but I do believe that it is a glitch as well.

I had the exact same problem, but I'm unsure if it's a bug. After a few days, I just set my sub to patrol all around the area in a loop and set the TC to 4096x. After several more days the mission finally completed. If it's not a bug, then perhaps the mission objectives could be made a little more clear.
