Thanks

when you play a career things are different.
if you are assigned a "patrol" mission (as opposed to a "sink" mission) you will not fulfill the Objective requirements unless you spend the proper time within the radius of the patrol zone. upon reaching the zone, the clock is started although the game will not notify you of that event.

if you leave the patrol area, the clock stops.

when you return to the patrol area, the clock continues.

when you have spent the required time within the patrol zone, the zone icon will change color and the Objective will be marked as complete.
