    Doing a mission where I have to take photos in Yaizu Harbour - get there OK at periscope depth beside the camera icon and lock onto 3 ships, take photos of each which show up as taken (icon beside the mission shows photos) but the mission does not complete.

    Any ideas please?

    I assume that there are only those 3 ships in the harbor, since you did not mention more. Therefore, keep snapping pictures of those 3 ships until the mission completes. Sometimes you need to take more than 1 picture of each ship.

    Maybe you missed a ship?
    I've noticed that sometimes if I photo one ship its mission complete even though there are still several ships in the harbor. I'm thinking sometimes it wants one special ship before its happy.

    Thanks guys - I did take several rounds of photos - there were only 3 ships - I actually went back a save a tried again with the same result - ended up getting frustrated and sank the merchant

    No matter how many snaps I took there always was only the 1st 3 photos - nothing else like gun emplacements were there and nothing else would show up to be locked.

    I had a similar problem a few days ago on another photo mission (can't remember the names but was Palau) - the photo icon showed up on one side of the Island outside a port but the place you were supposed to photo was on the other side - tried both and neither worked.

    Please tell me you were submerged when you took the photos. Sometimes you just need to get a little closer and take multiple pictures.

    Yes I was submerged at periscope depth. Yooper gold edition with TMO 1.7

    However guys the matter seems to have resolved itself - suddenly the game said completed.

    Thanks for your help.

    New problem

    I cannot fire torpedoes from my front tubes as it tells me they are damaged - this damage does not show up on the appropriate screen (no hull damage or anything) nor does setting the repair team to work fix it - I cannot drag them to the place to fix either as they are really not damaged - have missed a few good targets too

    I know it will fix when I go back to base but I have to finish a mission first and of course it still thinks I have 6 usable torpedoes. Have saved the game at various times and reloaded - turned the game off and started again but no luck. Just a few little bugs it seems.

    I have had that optic mod on which doesn't suit TMO 1.7 - have taken that off and will try again later and see what happens.
