The incredible vanishing aux. Gunboat

[AntEater]

The damage model of the Auxiliary Gunboat seems broken. I dunno if it was added by RFB or RSRD, but if this converted freighter takes a torpedo, it just vanishes. And you don't get any credit for making it disappear.

It's RSRDC. It's happened to me as well.

I will look into this

I did too
Apparently the reason for vanishing was the fact that you got 2460 points of renown for it. That is the same as its tonnage.
I set it to around 100 and I could sink one next patrol and got credit for it. Visual DM is still porked, though. First hit just disabled it with no visible damage, coup de grace made it vanish again, but this time with a "she's going down" message.

Yep. All hits minus the killing blow seem to just leave char marks.
