You say the damage wasn't serious, do you remember how deep you were and where you were? Very possible it was a plane. You said multiple system damage, but not major, it's possible if you lost your scopes that you lost some other top equipment. I've lost air radar before and not known it and next thing I know why at scope depth with radar up, I get blasted out of the water by planes. How do you know it wasn't a mine. Did you have the cam on your ship when it happened?

Not trying to be an arse with you Cap, just saying you were attacked by something. In this game it's not possible for damage just to happen on it's own, there is a cause, plane, ship, hitting ground, mine, ect...

The only other possibility is you had damage and went too deep. Depends on the boat, but I know RFB use to use more realistic depths, so with minor damage that would limit you even more. You cross that point then one system after the other fails, but I assume you've died this way before and would know how it acts.

Before, I thought this was a major on going issue for you, since it's not, I don't know that I would fret about it. Course I know nothing of RFB, you may want to post there if this becomes a ongoing problem. You may have found a bug not yet found by anyone.

Im telling you this was no plane. and we were literally utoin the middle of nowhere, so mines would be astronomical.i was at Periscope depth, about 18M. we were so remotely far into the ocean that plane would also be VERY VERY unlikely. Mainly because it means there would have to a plane nearby RIGHT then, and itd also have to coordinate attacks with destroyers on pretty much my last known position. since there werent any destroyers near me, the nearest being about 8000m away and me going at ahead 2/3, that their sonar would have a pretty slim chance of finding me actively.
