GWX renown and wreck lost!

[Petsman]

I hit a small tanker. I go 4klm away to sink something else.


When i come back to tanker it has sank, but no wreck or renown!:hmm:

I can not wait or view a ship to sink before leaving or sneaking . What should do?:ping:

Yes, but if DDs are searching after hit then i have to go away!

Check your Logbook (Key K) to see if it is listed there. As a rule of thumb if you are within visual or Hydrophone range from the target you get the credit.

Not listed !:down:

But , in convoys attacks I by the time the ship sinks I may be 15-25 km away!

P.S. You may be right. The tanker was stationary target , so no hydrophone could catch. Surfaced I had a visual only 300-400 meters away. Very fogy!

The Hydrophones can pick up the target up to 30-40Km away, so if you're under water you should be able to listen to the target. It's a bug of SH3 I'm afraid that the ship is not listed.

Did you save and reload between your last shot and your discovery that the tanker is gone?

If you reload and a wounded ship sinks anytime after that, than you won't get any credit. Let's call ist a stock SH3 bug ;)

How rough were the seas ?
Sometimes the sea steals you kill by finishing off a stricken ship

I'm in the habit now of immediately shadowing any lone ship I torpedo, just to make sure I stay in contact at the moment of sinking. Too many grey icons otherwise. My preferred torp shot for routine small kills - a single hit on the nose of the ship - makes this worse, because I'm relying on the ship to essentially sink herself by gunning it into the oncoming seas and self-flooding.

The problem seems to be worse when using the stern tubes, because the hydrophone loses contact when the target passes directly astern. So as soon as I shoot, I flip the boat around and reacquire via hydrophone, then follow the target until it sinks.

I just chalk it up to the fog of war.
