What did I do wrong??

Not only do you have to radio in a status report but you must do it within a certain distance of where you completed your mission. I got the "insert spy in Dalian" mission several times in a row, right after I posted that I never got repeat missions.

"WTF!!!" said I, meaning "Why that's funny" of course. Then I read that when you sight enemy ships, to get a reply you have to call in within sight of the ships.

I thought "The life raft is a ship." When I launch it I might have to phone home while I'm in sight of it. I did and the repeat missions stopped. I received immediate confirmation and a new mission. As a bonus, you might be attacked by more of those Betties you like so much.

Nope. Patch 1.3 removed rafts, lifeboats, sampans, and fishing boats from showing up on sonar or radar.

I know it was I waqs just joking abut that. I always found it funny when your sonar man would report a contact. You would go to investigate and its a SamPan...

Gonna hijack this thread as it's right up the right alley for my question (by the way.. I didn't know about reporting your status after you've done a recon mission or whatever.. was wondering why this is my third recon mission in a row.. haha).

If you get a new mission and it says to patrol around Iowa Jima (or however you spell it.. sorry! :hmm: ) and sink merchants.. do you need to stay there for 24 hours or something before reporting in to get anothe mission? What do they consider 'around' to be? Within 50 NM's of the island or something?

Zoom right in on your patrol star in the navmap . Then use your compass and make a 50nm circle and then stay inside that . Easy hey .

So it is 50nm? I was only taking a guess at it.. it hasn't told me exactly how close to IJ I have to stay.
