Completing missions is important as they are worth Campaign Points thath you need a minimum of 8 from these 6 missions to successfully complete this first Total Germany Campaign before moving to the Happy Times Campaign.

Not really... Only victory/defeat message between campaigns depends of value points (AKA small Iron crosses). Player needs only one value point in order to complete campaign successfully ... "
Wich to me indicates total ignore of a "Macro Objective" like se coast NW approach etc is not advisable if u want to unlock next "mission" |
Yes , I remember that...Most of the people simple don't understand how SH5/OHII campaign actually works, including my self until few days ago...
That one value point which is needed for campaign ending triggering when final date is reached (small iron cross) is given to the player as soon as he enters campaign for the first time (First Deployment macro objective).

Seem like these terms are used a bit messy . When it s stated :
"All of the "missions" are controlled by date - not by your progress in the game."
we talk about what the map call Macro Objectives right?(NW approach etc) not the Missions you request on map.(like take a photo in a fjord)
This leads to some confusion..look this thread that should be placed here from earlier today: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=219977 |
Yes, I've noticed that too...
When I say "mission" I actually mean "macro objective" and when I say "secondary mission" I mean "mission" (patrol grid, spy infiltration ect). This can create confusion, I agree...I'll try to use proper terms from now on...

On the contrary, you can ignore it completely, if you like, and you will still be able to enter next campaign, in your case Happy Times...Will you have type VIIB, trained crew, medals and plenty of credits for upgrades when that happens depends of your overall tonnage and capital ships on your score...
In theory, if you are not aggressive enough you can enter 1945 with type VIIA and untrained crew...
