How long do I patrol off honshu to complete goal?

Hm. I think I will restart my career and see if it changes stuff.

I was ordered to patrol the SE Celebes Sea in my current career. I made it close to the star icon on the Nav map, it turned gray, and I recieved a popup saying the first part of my orders were complete. It shows as such on my clipboard. The only thing that's yet to be completed is the goal of "Engage and destroy merchant shipping" but that makes sense, as I haven't seen anything yet!

Not sure what triggers the "completed mission" tag, but I did it somehow.

I did 2 missions in 1.0 , star+binoculars (14days to change colour) star+flag, get on station (arrive on flag) new orders. Each star with symbol will I take give different orders and certain objectives to change colour.

I got 2 missions in after another to get to Tokyo harbor and do a photo recon, but i can't take anny pic. The colur of the binoculars on thr map is the same, not gray Becouse of the air attack and all stuff I decided 2. time to go else where to hunt some targets then tkae pic. I use 1.1 patch.

back on topic: you must target a ship with the scope, then the camera thingy lights up, take picture [click on lit up camera icon], then proceed to film more ships docked in harbour..

Just for the sake of clarity, do you target a ship simply by positioning the scope so the little colored triangle appears over it, or is there a key or command you have to have to press to "lock" it in?

I tried a photo mission last night, and couldn't get the camera icon to light up, but my guess is that I wasn't close enough.

Hi,

i have a problem with my career mode.
I finished the 1st mission - no problems. Went back to my homebase and then I could start the second mission.

1st mission was a patrol - completed succesfull.
2nd mission is to deliver the agent to this island.
So I delivered the agent, he got off my ship and I sailed back to homebase. (Pearl Harbour)

Now here is the problem:
When I´m starting the next mission, the game wants me to do the SAME mission as before AGAIN (delivering agent).
I played the agent mission now 2 times. Both times the mission was succesfull.
But I do not get the next mission....

It can´t be, that I do have to play the second mission 2 times, if I succeded in it.

Anyone here with the same problem?
Any solutions?

yes, the triangle was yellow when it lit up and i had pressed "L" to lock scope.

i was using everything on realism except manual TDC and no map contacts and very hard difficulty, i have no idea when i go full 100% realism how i will do it since there will be no yellow triangle on 100%. i imagine i will just need to lock the scope close to the target?
