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).

Thank you for the input MUCH appreciated!
