My return order didn't come till I had just almost reached the second waypoint you see in this shot over to the right on the map, which also shows the mission icon opened up and the white bar full.

Is it just me or does that bar never really fill up? It gets to like 99%

I thought the same thing, but upon looking at it closer both ends of the bar have a tiny bit that looks like there's a bit left but not so apparently.

If you copy that image I posted, then open it with picture and fax view and zoom in close you can see this.
And once that return to base message comes, you can see also the iron cross in the mission box in the upper left corner of the map have turned white. And in the overall campaign portion you see that the first two crosses have turned white indicating the first two missions are complete.

So those iron croses at the top represent your overall progress in the campaign?

Okay got it...

see your cross coloured in on the display in top left of map under "british coastal waters" you have completed the mission either return to base and finish patrol or start the other mission (you don't have to request it in the mission briefing you can just do it).

ok... but still.. any time i sink a ship nothing happens. i go back to port, its like i didnt even do anything. sailed around england sinking crap all over the island and still nothing. o well guess i have to wait for a patch or mod or something

Isn't that a "pirate trap"? One of the "bugs" the devs left in for those that run a cracked copy of the game?

If the progress bar not fill, is a pirated version and is nothing more to talk about here.

For the record.... No. This is not a sign of PIRATED copy. The bar never looks full, just look for the cross being filled in on your map (upper left) as others have stated.

I have a legit copy as well (bought at release ...silly me) and my bar looks like 95% full, but cross is filled.

No, cause I bought the game and at first everything worked great I sank ships and my progress was shown now I am in the Mediterranean and needs to sink only one ship I have sank like 5 ships already and the bar stays the same. All of them I sank with in specific area.

So your saying then to play the "british supplies mission" next then return to port??? As i've played the british coastal waters mission, sunk over 79,000 tons (12 ships or more) states under mission patrol log "mission complete" head back to wilhelmshaven & dock my boat, the little gold anchor shows up up in the right hand corner, i click on it & choose "end patrol" but yet patrol "DOESN"T END"??? whats up with that? now i'm almost certain that all my kills were within the red line of the british coastal patrol mission, so i don't understand why the mission isn't ending??? [EDIT] Now that i think of it, i did sink 1 british cargo ship otw to the red line area, it was a lil further out to the east, maybe this may have made the mission uncompleted? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Every campaign has multiple missions and every mission end at a certain date. The progress bar, filled or not, will stay on map until the mission end date. So if one of your mission is done and has the progress bar filled, take another mission or just wait a bit until another mission will pop up on map.

This is something I've not experienced till now.

I've been installing mods and have started the campaign over 3 or 4 times now. I have made it to happy times once before. I'm finished with "Total Germany" and it's only January of 1940. All my crosses are filled at the very top, minus one. All my mission progress bars are filled.

Can I not progress to the next part of the campaign until after the March or June deadlines or is it bugged an I have to start over again? Thanks for any clarification.
