Mission Summary
 

I'm on my 8th patrol and have sunk 3 large cargo ships and 1 medium cargo all British. I'm out of torps so am returning to base. When I exit and save mid-patrol, the mission summary says that I have sunk 4 neutrals. This has happened on all my previous patrols as well. Not a major problem as I always get the correct renown and am currently 2nd in this list of u-boat aces. Just curious to know why they are listed as neutrals rather than Allied ships sunk. Anyone else notice this?

I have no idea. It shouldn't be happening. Do you use any mods????

I am using GW1.1a. No other mods installed.

Nemo

It's strange. I'm using GW as well and never had that problem. I know it might sound silly but are you sure they were British ships??? Another idea is that you might have saved the game before a ship went down, or in the vicinity of a harbour. Is this the case??? I'm sorry if I cannot be of any help but I'm trying to think what might have caused the problem

Definitely British ships sunk and listed in my log as sunk. It's just that when I save mid-patrol the summary lists for this patrol Neutrals sunk = 4. This has happened on my previous patrols as well for British ships sunk. I think it was the same for me in the stock game as well. When I get back to base everything is fine, I get the right renown, awarded medals etc. Strange.

Nemo

There is one solution I can think off. Don't save ingame :lol:

Well as long as you get your kills as British it's OK. Imagine how it would be otherwise ;)

I agree though it is really strange

I must admit I use the save game feature quite a lot (even submerged!!) without any major problems. Perhaps this issue is something to do with that, but it's not a game killer. I wish I had the time not to have to save, but real life just keeps getting in the way.:D

Don't sink ships until September "39 :smug:

I have had this happen to me. I'd installed a few mods (no idea which ones - sorry) over a patched version of SH3 and as already described above, all my tonnage was listed as neutral. I uninstalled everything (including the main game - hadn't backed up D'oh!!!) and re installed and now (touch wood) it's all hunky dory.

Sorry I couldn't be more help but at least you know that it's not just you!

Thanks robbo. Docked at Kiel this morning and the mission summary still said that I had sunk 4 neutrals. For this I still got an Iron Cross First Class and 876 renown (49% realism) and am leader in the u-boat aces list. Strange bug.

I don't really want to do a re-install as it is not a game killing bug, I'll do it when GWX comes out.

Well it turns out there is nothing wrong with my game at all:oops: . The mission summary screen can be easily mis-read leading you to believe you have sunk neutrals rather than allies, at a glance it looks a bit skewed. Counted lines from the bottom rather than the top and it shows the correct info.

Nemo

Are you going to cry wolf now?
