Another problem with GWX I am having. After a ship is distroyed or sunk their is nothing shown on the map or recorded. It just disappears. Yet it is still visible in the conning tower. WHAT THE ******* IS THE PROBLEM THIS TIME :damn::damn::damn:
Has someone PLEASE got some sort of a FIX???:hmmm:
A solution would be better than a remedy & appreciated.

What other mods are you using? I have GWX and a whole bunch of other mods and I don't have your problem. So I'm guessing the problem is something at your end, not GWX's.

I don't play with map contacts visible, but I presume that it disappears from the map when it is destroyed simply because - it is destroyed..

Not at all. When you sink a ship it remains on the map as a little red picture of a sinking ship. If it is lost to a storm or the luftwaffe sinks it it is a little grey sinking ship. It will remain there the whole patrol.

Not at all. If you don't use it, how could you know?
I use the Assisted Plotting mod. Sonar tracks still appear on the map, but visual contacts only appear as dotted circles, and then only if the cursor moves over them, and then they only say 'Unknown'. If you lock on and identify it, or the Weapons Officer does it for you, then that contact and that contact only shows up with the information. That way they're plotting only what you give them, as in real life.

Hello !
I had the problem once during a patrol, after I started a new patrol (I mean not a new career, only a new patrol) the problem was gone.
Best regards,

Thanks to everyone for you replies. I have tried a couple of your suggestions, including starting a new mission but still persists that when I have destroyed a vessel, that on the map it disappears with no red marker to indicate a kill. It just disappears. But when on the surface mod the ship is still visibly afloat. I have some mods to the game but nothing that should interfer to be doing this. Its annoying because I wast torpedoes on a hit that records a no kill???? :arrgh!:
