Guide to Completing Missions in SH4 | Forums

The patrols piss me off at times. I spent at least 3 days (at least 60 hours) within 100nm of the patrol zone on my first mission, and it still didn't report as mission complete. I always use a compass to mark the patrol zone, so I know I was within 100nm. I completed 3 search patterns within the area at 1/3 speed (8 knots.) I even lingered a little while. It seems like this doesn't happen on every patrol, so it drives me nuts. What is wrong with it?!

In the stock game, when you get a flag in the star, you'll get further orders once you get within the patrol zone. When you get binoculars in the star, you need to stay within 50nm of the star for the entire patrol time. Most of us make it a few miles less to compensate for our own innacuracies.

The first post in this thread says " stay within 100 nautical miles of the objective" to complete the 'patrol' mission - it needs correcting...

How do you pick up the pilots once you get to the designated locations?

Hello johneg15,

If you click on the link SHIV Guide below my signature there is a section in that guide that tells you about picking up pilots.
