Have some questions regarding SH5

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Interpol
Its not a bug, its just the way the game operates. If you were to make a save then you would have to count down the full 48/72 time again.

The 72 hour patrol is a real pain in the butt. At least the 48 hour is a bit more user friendly. It all really depends how much gaming session time you have. It is not compulsory to have to do those patrol grids but, they do earn you 1 bonus point for each one completed. If you are running out of time and you want to complete it just increase the TC and spin out the remaining time.
Just a reminder that the patrol area is usually 250km. If you draw that out from the middle of your patrol grid with the compass, once you enter the 250km boundary your patrol time starts to count. Make a note of the time you cross the boundary and then you will know roughly the time when that grid will be completed.
