What do they want from me??

Any objective that you complete gives you EXTRA renown, stuff that is added to what you get from sinking the ships.

So its always better to send contact reports. Unless of course you get located because of it. And you die. Without saves.

What is the skinny on whether radio messages or using radar gives away your position? I've heard conflicting stories. I have never noticed any effect of either on nearby ships. Sometimes I think the aircraft come at me because of radio and/or radar, but I can't tell if it's just coincidence or what.

Anyway, I'm still asking, what is the victory condition for this mission? Does anyone know?

Can anyone confirm that NOT accomplishing a mission does not impose a renown penalty? (I see the last post is from Romania -- anyone on the dev team perhaps?)

[elanaiba]

Yes, someone from the dev team.

Of course its better to accomplish objectives, but just getting them doesn't imply you won't get renown for sinking those ships. That one remains unchanged.

So anyone care to tell us why no matter what we do these missions are always considered incomplete.

if your told to engage a task force consisting of 4 destroyers and 1 euro liner. why does sinking the liner not complete the mission ?


same goes for engaging under the orders "sink capital ship" i sank every cruiser in the convoy over 2 days. they were the only things that could be considered capital ships.

result, incomplete.

Di you radio in after attacking the TF? Otherwise how would COMSUBPAC know you sank those ships? :hmm:

[AirborneTD]

My take on this is a little different. This was a TF you randomly encounter--no? In this case, your main mission is what was assigned by SUBCOMPAC when you left port--a patrol area, a recon mission, etc. This will have the icon on the map. This particular mission was a mini-mission (if you will) whereby you chose to engage. You have accomplished it and have gained renown for the sunk liner. Other than the renown, you will get no other kudos--except from me--"Way to Go!!!!"

I believe you need to sink 3 DD in the task force to complete this. If it was a regular convoy, sink at least 3 merchants to complete this.

I think Vindex is talking about the objectives that are assigned to you while at sea and reporting your contacts. I've only ever completed one of these objectives once as I always seem to get an objective that has nothing to do with the TF I've discovered. An example would be finding a TF of 3 cruisers and a pile of destroyers and getting an objective of sinking an enemy capital ship. Sinking all three cruisers would not change the objective to complete (as cruisers are NOT capital ships).
