Mission Objectives

Wouldn't it be nice to have some calrification on the mission objectives.

I'm not referring to the Sink 50,000 tons by June 1st for the British Coast, or 1000,000 for the western approaches...(oh wait I DO have a question about the blockade of germany).

1. Patrol this area
-How long?
-And within what distance?

Twice I've recieved a "Complete" only after sinking a ship, relativley far away from the patrol point. Additionally milling about in the patrol area for long enough prompts a new patrol area assignment. A minor complaint: these patrol areas are often devoid of traffic, with much traffic occuring not to far away, but seemingly outside of the "patrol area" (With SH4 in mind).

Oddly my first completed mission, the objective completed upon sinking a ship, but BDU was telling me to continue onto the next objective, and the captain's log indicated a new objective had been assigned but none was, and the task showed complete.

2. Blockade of Germany, Sink five ships along the northern patrol line

Five what? Capital ships? Escorts? Or will any do? As the purpose of these groups was to limit the maneuvering of german warships I don't see how sinking five helpless merchants in the area helps. But if that's all it takes I guess here goes!

Conclusion

Thank god I don't have to sneak into the Thames to take a picture of the crown jewels. Any one hate those missions in SH4? I sure did.
