Since many people (including myself) have been having problems completing missions I figured I'd post a guide.
<span class="ev_code_yellow">Guard.</span>
You're required to go to the objective location and pick up pilots who parachute into the sea. You get 250 renown points if you pick up 5 pilots.
<span class="ev_code_yellow">Insertion Commando.</span>
You have to go to the objective location and drop off a team of six commandos. The radius of this mission is usually 3 nautical miles. You have to surface the boat once within this radius and bring the boat to a stop in order to be able to launch the commandos' dinghy. Once the dinghy is launched the objective is completed. The option to launch the dinghy will not appear unless you surface, so you can either enter the area submerged or do a quick dive and resurface once at the objective. You usually get 200 renown points for completing this mission.
<span class="ev_code_yellow">Insertion Spy.</span>
You have to go to the objective location and drop off a spy. The radius of this mission is usually 3 nautical miles. You have to surface the boat once within this radius and bring the boat to a stop in order to be able to launch the spy's dinghy. Once the dinghy is launched the objective is completed. The option to launch the dinghy will not appear unless you surface, so you can either enter the area submerged or do a quick dive and resurface once at the objective. You usually get 200 renown points for completing this mission.
<span class="ev_code_yellow">Insertion Supplies.</span>
You have to go to the objective location and drop off a dinghy containing two sailors and supplies. The radius of this mission is usually 3 nautical miles. You have to surface the boat once within this radius and bring the boat to a stop in order to be able to launch the dinghy. Once the dinghy is launched the objective is completed. The option to launch the dinghy will not appear unless you surface, so you can either enter the area submerged or do a quick dive and resurface once at the objective. You usually get 200 renown points for completing this mission.
<span class="ev_code_YELLOW">Patrol.</span>
This mission requires only that you stay within 100 nautical miles of the objective for 48 hours. You usually get 200 renown points for completing this mission.
<span class="ev_code_yellow">Photo.</span>
You must travel to within 8 nautical miles of the objective then, while submerged, lock an enemy vessel in your periscope and press the menu bar button to take a photo. You may need a number of photos to complete the mission. You usually get 300 renown points for this mission.
<span class="ev_code_yellow">Sink.</span>
Here you must travel to within 100 nautical miles of the objective. Once on station a second objective will appear telling you to sink enemy shipping. You are free to go anywhere to sink ships. You get 100 renown points for arriving on station and a further 250 points if you sink (usually) 10,000 tons or more.
<span class="ev_code_yellow">Important (but easily missed) keyboard controls</span>
L - Lock target ship (enables TDT data inputs)
I'll update the guide as I get more information. Please post if you have more info.

Just a note on the "Sink" mission -- once you get near the star and it grays out, and you get the "now sink merchants" message, you can immediately leave the area and go anywhere to rack up the tonnage.
Also, are you sure it's 10,000 tons? Maybe this is modified by difficulty settings? I usually have to sink 15,000 tons or more to get a mission complete message.

Thanks for the info.
On the sink mission tonnage, mission tonnages may vary. The ones I've seen so far all say 10,000 tons.

What about the Quick mission Photo Recon. Take photos and report carriers, but it still says incomplete. How do you complete it? BTW the other objective is sink commercial shipping. Mahalo.

I think you have to photograph a certain number of ships in order to complete the mission. I don't have confirmation of that yet though.

Thanks heaps for the info ... it sort of makes a bit of sense now. However ... how the hell do you rescue pilots? In SH it was easy - the manual even told you how to do it. I can't for the life of me work it out in SH4 and have had to live with 'uncompleted". Any advice?
