Just played the Philippines sea battle, that resulted in a loss. The Primary objectives are to 1) repel the Japanese fleet and 2) don't lose any carriers or transports...

I didn't lose any, had a Turkey shoot, sank one carrier (secondary obj is to sink 3) and in the end the Japanese fleet fled. And I lost.

What does "repel" mean in this scenario?

- Sank all 3 carriers
- Sank 2 of 3 battleships
- Sank all but 2 cruisers

Defeat?

Hopefully in the patch the requirements for victory are clearly stated (sink X amount of ships - sink all ships... etc., not just "repel Japanese fleet")

Last minute changes are never a good idea

The next time I got all 3 Carriers and all of the battleships, 1 cruiser and a destroyer retreated but I got the victory. Clarity would be nice.

Status: offline 		I'm putting the game on hold until all these victory condition issues are fixed - hopefully in the patch due out later in the week. I've got 173 hours invested in the game so far, admittedly with 3 different starts, all to see which combinations work best. But I'm reluctant to invest more time only to end up with a victory that is thwarted by a bad line of code. So I'll be patient and bide my time. It is annoying at the moment, but by this time next year, won't even be a distant memory.

The fixes are definitely not in the hotfix: I just sank 3 Japanese carriers at the Philippine Sea, shot down 20+ aircraft and still suffered a crushing defeat for the campaign. I suppose I can try again after the patch...
