Completing missions

mcgib · 08-10-10, 12:44 AM

Havent played in a long time and I can't remember how to complete missions like putting supplies ashore or putting personal ashore. I stopped my sub as close to shore as I dare sat still on the surface for over an hour and nothing happend. What am I missing?

When inserting an agent, you have to get pretty close... dangerously close, to shore- surface and stop in order to drop him off in his little rubber dingy.

When I say close to shore, I mean within 500-800 yards max.

I am not certain of the "required range" in the game, but I can't imagine a way to expect a single person to paddle himself ashore from a distance greater than about 500 yards.

Come in close to the shore- of course surfaced and stopped to bring up the dialogue box asking if you want to launch the boat.

I usually draw a 1,750yd (about 1 mile) circle from the center of the drop point. So far, every time I've entered that circle, the drop-off menu appears.

I sat 250 yrds off from the supply drop point for an hour and still no luck

Try going to periscope depth and then surface.

Check and make sure you didn't miss any messages requiring you to wait. Often you get messages making you wait 4 or more hours.

If you're in the zone, stopped and no waiting period, may be a bug, so are you patched up.

You may want to try pulling out of the zone and come back to see if you can trigger the mission.
