    Missions lack clarity

    The mission structure in this game drives me round the bend!! Currently doing one where I first have to find Peggie laptop. Some dude then tracks the boats carrying bliss, so he tells me to call Adelaide and take them out. I call her, grapple up to her chopper and open the map. No yellow icons anywhere (yes I’m tracking the mission). So then I see a pegggi supply truck, aim at it and press left on the d-pad. Adelaide starts going on about finally some action, and promptly lands the ****ing chopper. Where the hell are these supply boats and how in the name of **** do I get the old cow to take them out????

    Look up the mission on Youtube and see for yourself, it's easier than someone explaining

    Fair enough, but I wouldn't have to if they were constructed with a little more thought. I find this with many of the missions. You use the track feature, but then get no indication on the map as to where you're supposed to be going. What's the point of the track feature if it doesn't highlight your objective on the map?

    Well to be fair they are still patching the game and as you have stated in the past no game is perfect

    Those that require destroy x of y for example don't have a track - you have to go out and find your target(s).

    It's the missions with "fixed" targets - i.e., the armed convoys for example, or a single location. So if in either example there's no "tracking" displayed on the map - congrats, you've encountered a game bug - as have so many others, including myself.

    Well, that's fine then. I didn't realise it may be a bug. Just thought it was poor design.

    Just done that mission and ran into the same bug. You are not supposed to grapple up to her chopper, you are supposed to be in your own chopper. After sitting up in her chopper and nothing happening, I went to the journal, untracked and re-tracked the mission and then fast travelled to the garage (I think) and I respawned in my own chopper with Addy in her chopper beside me. This mission is a complete mess. I am wondering if there is supposed to be a way to call for your own chopper?
