That mission, as it stands is very fiddly. We are attempting to change it just a bit for the next release, but be aware that you are given the Objective, which directs you to an area off the south coast (approximate location of a phosphorus loading facility). If you get in close enough, you are given a prompt as to when to begin shelling. You have to be within the smaller circle, which is the "target" area. Inside that circle in that "harbor" initially, are several small vessels, and those are your "targets", as stand-ins for the shore and/or phosphorus plant. It is best to do this at night to minimize the possibility of air attack, and to help shield your boat from view. Also, do NOT sink anything by torpedo before you get within the circle, else you will most likely sink your "target" before its "activation" as a valid Objective target is set... We know of at least three people that have done that... lol - One thing to remember about the game, is that there is no "penalty" for not fulfilling Objectives. You only miss out on the 200-400 renown points (dependent) for completing them, so as long as you were able to complete the overall "Patrol" assignment, you still got points. It is more important if you sank something though, as always, since you get points for everything sunk. Since the Marshalls area is relatively "dry" of targets (comparatively) - unless you want to tangle with sub chasers - most of the newer missions to the area have multiple Objectives to help boost the players' chances of a higher score.
