Finishing A Mission?

10-12-13, 12:18 PM

I'm playing a new career on Silent Hunter 4 in the pacific fleet- am based in manilla.

Had a mission to go out and raid merchant shipping. I sank more that 10000 tons and completed that objective, but now I have no objectives, and haven't finished the mission- how is this possible?

Thanks,
Kevin

You have to return to home port. it will be the tilted anchor icon on your nav map. And welcome aboard!

Yes. Depending on the date your home port may have switched from Manila to Surabaya in Java.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the advice but when I go to Java (I get told I've changed home port) I don't get the option to end mission.

Is it some kind of bug?

Zoom out and look at your chart - map screen. As ETR3(SS) said, your new home port has a tilted anchor. Sail there and you can end your mission.

Happy Hunting!

That's exactly what I've done- but still no joy

The time between getting the message and the anchor icon changing on the map won't be the same. Hang around there for a while and press the anchor icon that appears in the upper right hand corner. See if it gives you an option to dock.

Anchor Icon still hasn't changed- think I'll just start a new career! It's Christmas now in the game
