it depends.

there are several mission types (objectives) but two are used most often:
1. patrol mission
2. sink mission

the patrol mission has a specific time (in days) that you need to patrol WITHIN the patrol zone in order to get credit for completing the objective. if you meet/exceed the elapsed time of the objective, you can go and patrol any place you want. the problem is that the game normally does not tell you when you reach the patrol zone and it does not tell you whether the objective requires the patrol to be consecutive days or intermittent days. there are other details which i cannot remember at the moment. these missions can get really frustrating because of the objective info not shared with you.

the sink mission has a specific amount of tonnage that you must sink in order to get credit for completing the objective. Normally, you need to sail to a geographic point to start the objective and then you can go anywhere you want to sink ships.

Some of the mega-mods like, TMO and FOTRSU, have these missions rewritten to some degree and the information on the objectives are more transparent.

my advice: keep playing Stock or even GFO (Game Fixes Only to Stock 1.5) until you get good at it again. then try TMO (Trigger Maru Overhaul) or FOTRSU (Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate).
