This is not a major loss but I would still like the game to account for the 3 sinkings instead of 2.In my experience this is the first time I have encountered this behaviour.
Any ideas what went wrong here and how I can edit the game (via patrol editor?) to correctly display the 3 sinkings? If this can't be done then at least I have all my patrol notes on paper confirming my kills.
Thanks.

It is frustrating but it happens. I just chalk it up to Bdu not giving me credit for the kill(probably happened a lot IRL).It is a lot more frustrating than when the Luftwaffe or weather steals the kill.
To help avoid it, I do everything I can to stay in the area or keep visual contact of my target, but it gets difficult when you are trying to dodge and sneak away from angry escorts. Late war, when that becomes verrrry difficult, you are more concerned with survival than tonnage, especially when the hedgehogs are raining down on you like a summer hailstorm.
