Ships must sink to a certain depth or flood to the X parameter before you get a kill credit. In many harbors there isn't enough floaty fluid under them to accomplish this. They just bottom out half full before the kill flag can be activated. Even though real world physics would deem a half sunk ship as damaged beyond use, this sim isn't that sophisticated. Pay heed to the depth of the harbor compared to the draft of the target. A vessel at dock loaded with ammo might deconstruct enough to gain credit where an empty one won't stop being a cork.
