Before sailing, got orders to go to area E3 & await further orders.

On arrival in the area (close enough to trigger a flash radio traffic message, that is...) got orders to sink enemy targets & on having full autonomy in order to accomplish said task.

Ok, now that this info is out of the way & disclosed... My query is this...

With said orders, do I have to stay in that general area, to sink a ship (preferably big enough to trigger the completion bell on it, that is... ) & complete that objective.? Or, can you motivate to any other areas to complete said task objective..?

Inquiring minds, wanna know.
jumping in here, if you see a Pennant and it goes gray after the flash radio traffic, then you can go anywhere you want to sink shipping. in reality, there are two objectives. the first is for reaching the patrol zone and the second is for sinking shipping. the total points for the two is usually in the 400 points range.
