I think I'm gonna try to automate that whole torpedo loading affair after this disaster. Manually doing it would be just making my life that much harder

Short summary of my patrol, to(hopefully) better illustrate what I mean with the missing tonnage:

Left Kiel
-> Arrived at my designate patrol grid AN18
-> Patrolled for 24 hours as per my orders
-> After 24 hours started heading back home
-> Ran into a lone british merchant ship while heading home, but still in AN18
-> Sunk the ship(got the report it sunk, shows up in my captain's log etc.) -> Resumed on course back to Kiel, got about 80km or so away from the wreckage and then I had to quit so checked no ships were around me and saved & exited
-> Few hours later resumed playing(encountered another merchant ship & the torp loading trouble) and finished my return trip to Kiel

Which is when I noticed in the end of patrol report that it said I had no tonnage to claim.

The ship was flying the british merchant navy red-with-union-jack-on-the-corner flag, so I'm assuming it wasn't neutral but indeed "hostile". Or do those merchants still count as neutral?
