Odd mission failure (1.18)

[dohboy]

Defending against a Russian coastal raid as Germany, they sank 1KE and 2TRs. In the scenario results it gives them a mission failure. Is this a bug or is there something more to the equation besides sinking 2 ships of any type that I am unaware of? Clearly they suffered a major defeat in the engagement, but they still accomplished the assigned task.

There is a distance requirement - the ships need to be sunk within something like 50nmi of the objective marker in order to count towards meeting the objective.

The objective marker only shows up when the objective tab is open to the left.

When you complete the objective you get a confirmation pop-up plus the objective tab will have an "ok" added to it.

I have seen this in English channel several times, with both me as England and AI France seemingly always failing the mission despite multiple sinkings.
