But as mentioned above there are only so many missions available and the chances of getting a repeat are fairly good. On this subject.. has anyone gotten a mission that was obvious suicide ? Some of the photo recon missions deep in the mainland of Japan in shallow waters and narrow bays come to mind ? In these cases Im sorely tempted to ignore orders. |

As these things crop up, the major modmakers will fix them. They're easy to fix. It just takes a little time to find the problems.

Wow this one rolled off the page fast.
This should be stickied in my opinion. |

I was wondering why it was taking so long to complete some of my missions. Especially the sink enemy merchent shipping one. I thought there might be some sort of tonnage requirement.

One thing I can add from my last patrol. My mission was to sail to a specific port and take pictures. I went there, took pictures of every single ship, still mission was not completed. There was another port not too far away, so I went there on a hunch, took a picture and the mission was accomplished. I love the missions in SH4, definitly an improvement, however sometimes they can get a bit confusing. Great thread, this will be helpful to a lot of people.

From the mission files it looks like you usually need to photograph five ships to get the mission accomplished. Someone will need to confirm that though as I've never done a photo mission yet.

Just found this Beery, and once again... You 'da Man!!
I haven't done many missions yet. Just started a career and spent 2 evenings playing trying to get to the patrol area. So, I'm having fun, but wasting a lot of time, but having fun. I have just started a mission that says to sink the carrier Shovoda (or something like that). It said it is leaving port X and going to home port y and I should intercept and sink it. The star on the map is at port X. But when I leave port it will take me about 4 days to get to port X, and I assume it will be on it's way to port Y. So, how in the heck in WW2 did a sub find the needle in the haystack, and locate a specific ship on it's way somewhere? There are many islands and the ship could go several ways... The mission description had a map and showed the star on the map, with a red dotted line of the target's path (i assume). Maybe I should just go and patrol the star on the map? Is that what you should always do, even though the mission description doesn't seem to indicate that? |
