Unfortunately, the two merchants have not been recorded by the campaign master because I saved the game while at sea, and when I reloaded it somehow they were lost (together with the 2nd patrol zone and a "Sink merchants" objective), despite the marks being visible in the map all the time and appearing in the Captain's log...:hmmm:

Bugs, bugs, plenty of bugs. This game could have been so good if properly developed... Damn you, Ubisoft!

yes, that's a nice haul.

on a side note on the not-getting-credit-for-sinkings, i am playing the Real Fleet Boat (RFB) megamod, which has the longest sinking times of any of the major mods, such that you may not get credit for sinkings because you are detecting the sinking when it happens. really frustrating.

I guess you mean that "because you are NOT detecting the sinking when it happens." But that's a different story, probably intentional by the developers. If you can't confirm the sinking either visually or by hydrophones, it makes sense that you don't get the kill.

What I experienced that last patrol is just another bug. I knew something was wrong as the game loaded the file and the sound of a launching torpedo was played and the XO called four or five times "torpedo in the water" :o

yeah, but, we are maybe 3000 yds distant from the sinking ship. the combination of the lack of noise detection by the sonar suite must be coupled with the fact that the Ubi programmers neglected to program sinking and breaking up noises such that the sonar suite hears nothing. really bad programming.

you will get that effect from time to time when you reload a save file. i still cannot recreate the effect at will.:hmmm:

What's up with U-Tankers?
 
So I'm playing 1942 type IXC career, Paukenshlag operation, in April. On 19 April I receive a message from HQ, that a U-Tanker will be avaliable for ressuply in grid CC, since 21 April. And indeed, after 21 April an icon appeared on my map, like in ports. But after some time, on like, May 4 or May 5 it dissapears. I searched the location of the U-Tanker, thinking that it might be just a bugged map icon, but U-Tanker is not there. So uh, any info on U-Tankers in this mod?

the mid-ocean replenishment Uboats are part of the Campaign and, yes, some of them are open-for-business for a day or two or three and then they are gone.

so, sadly, you must plan to meet them when they are available or you are SOL (american slang for Short on Luck, or something close to that:D).

Got it, thanks for the tip. Was afraid that it's a bug or something like that.
