Alright here we go:
for the loner merchant in the screenshot:
- perfect wheather conditions except waves at 15m/s
- therefore only torpattack possible (1 eal only was necessairy to sink it)
- i repeated the attack on this ship about 3x with a saved file being 50km away from its actual position
- it started vanishing only just before its going down each time
above criterias applied to the convoy i attacked 1 day gametime earlier as well except it was nightime. i downed 8 cargos. 3 of them vanished in the same way. 1 of the 3 survived approx 3 hrs before it was finally unlockable, destroyed and vanished like the others.
