New and Lost and Hungry

[Ethaninja]

Hey fellas. First off, a quick introduction. My names Ethan as you can tell. Yadi yadi yada. Nice to meet you all too.

Anywho, as a noob there are some questions I need help with if you don't mind

Question No #1: During the first mission, WHAT THE HECK DO I DO?! :P I read my captains log stardate, and it told me to find a Jap ship. It was just fuzzy on where in the Pacific Ocean I should start looking. Please help =)

Question Numero 2: During a campaign mission, I get lots of radio reports. Do they mean anything? Are they side quests, or are they just for show or something?

And last but not least, 3: What would be the average time it takes for you to complete a mission? Because it took me at least 10 mins to 30 just to get from Western Aussie to Sydney. Am I doing things right? (Plotting a path, setting to Ahead Flank, and pressing Numpad + so that I can get time to speed up as fast as possible)?

Cheers for any help I may recieve, and good hunting
