Not sure even why I got the grey icons, I never saw them to know what kinds of ships they were...only thing to know they were gone other than that was that they vanished off they hydrophone  |
Strange and similar; I was stalking a coastal merc in the North Sea during a really heavy squall when I lost contact completely. Submerged to get a sonar fix and he was gone... after surfacing the map showed a sunken ship icon. Not sure if another Uboat got him or the storm....?
Another time I was off the Hebbrides at night when I caught a virgin convoy by surprise but I only had one eel left at in No. 5. Snuck-in @ periscope depth and tried to line up a stern shot but when I went to God's Eye I saw half the convoy going all different directions! Mind you; they were not changing course but steaming all over the place in all directions.... couldn't get the shot off because I was in-line to get rammed in various direction... wierd happenings indeed!
