Campaign Progress
Within each campiagn (i.e. coastal Waters) there are main objectives to achieve. These will be things like "sink 50,000 tonnes of coastal shipping". As you achieve this tonnage a progress bar will fill so you can keep track of your progress. When the bar is full, you have achieved the objective and will be awarded crosses to fill your campaign bar.
Most of these objectives a time/date related and if you fail to fill the progress bar within that time - you will fail the objective.

Failing the objective will not stop your campaign. You may have some blocked objectives or even blocked campaigns as a result, but your career will continue.

If you finish an objective within the time frame given - you may not get a new one untill a later date. When this happens, you should go out and patrol anywhere you like, hunting any ship you like. this is a good time to test your skills by trying some harbour raids etc.
When the time comes for a new objective, you will be sent a radio message informing you that new objectives are ready. You do not need to return to port and select it. You can just go and start the new objective from where you are. You DO NOT EVER need to select an objective from the main briefing map.

When you do select an objective from the main briefing map, you will also be given a secondary mission. This will be thing like "Drop of supplies at area X" see here for an example When you achieve these secondary missions, you will be rewarded with extra renown points that you can use to upgrade your u-boat. If you do not do these secondary missions - there is no penalty.

Note:
When you are in the Bunker - check that you can get to ask the officer for upgrades. If this option is greyed out (this normally happens when you progress to a new campaign or use the silentotto trick) - save/load to fix.
If you do not do this your game will not show a loading screen when you enter your boat. If this happens - dock straight away.
Leaving the bunker like this, the game will fail to load properly and weird stuff can happen, including CTDs.

The campaigns run between dates;
  1. Coastal Waters runs from 3rd Sept '39 til 1st June '40
  2. Happy Times runs from 15th June '40 til 1st March '41
    (Timeline splits)
  3. Mare Nostrum and
    Western Approaches both run from 15th March til 1st Dec '41
and so on, type silentotto when you get to the new campaign selection screen to make all the campaigns visible and selectable.


Missions are offered within each of the campaigns and are also date limited. For example "Breaking The Fortress" is not available until mid October '39


If you complete the mission and/or campaign objectives ahead of time, you then have a free rein to cause mayhem wherever you like until the next one becomes available.

You got the true gen from the master while I was typing!
