hey cap, I don't know if it's something done by 1.09c or the newest iteration of the Github mod, but SSGNs and their escorts are killing themselves left right and center. It only ever happens on SSGN missions ("enemy SSGN transiting southwards" or "SSGN wolfpack ~200mi north of Iceland").

Right now I've seen Charlies, Juliets and Oscars all either spawn below test depth and implode as soon as I spawn in ("new contact" immediately followed by "breaking up" and pieces of the enemy sub floating around) or they make a dive immediately as the mission starts and go below test depth.

Their escorts go with them to their deaths as well.

I mean, I get the credit for "sinking" them anyways but it's a little too amusing and you should probably be made aware of this...

this issue wasn't present in 1.08 nor in 1.09b with the last Github version.

edit: ok I'm not sure what's going on but the issue seems to extend to SSN patrols as well. Got intercepted by an undetected patrol and I just spawned in to be met with a "lost contact, contact breaking up" then a Victor III as "sunk" on the post-battle screen. Logic would assume that diesel patrols with Foxtrots and Kilos might be susceptible to the same bug.

edit2: another SSN patrol. The Victor III imploded near-instantly but the Victor I did not suffer the same fate. I think this behaviour must relate to specific vessels. I've run into a trio of Alfas previously without witnessing this bug.

edit3: this is getting out of hand. Ran into a Foxtrot in littoral waters (<300ft) off Andoya and he evidently spawned below the ocean floor, because his remains were floating around below a field of seaweed. I couldn't see the ground due to the obvious glitch but I'm pretty sure he was spawned in at ~600 ft in 250 ft water.

I've sunk a lot of surface combatants so far in this campaign but if this goes on I'll have no subs left to fight. Which reminds me, I finished a UNREP mission and noticed that I "sank" a Foxtrot in addition to the ships. This "Foxtrot" did not appear on my sonar and was not visible, so I'm convinced it suffered the same fate as the others subs.

Also, I'm glad Tu-142s and Il-38s have returned to their random coastal patrols. In 1.08 it became so easy to accost Riga/Poti/Grisha-escorted UNREP groups near the coast because the Il-38 would only appear in insertion or land attack missions.
