Hi
I'm sorry if I got wrong... but I think that you got sliglty wrong about what I wrote in my previous posts
I save the game before attack and not after... and always with the target between 400m-500m positioned from one of target sides.
So the missing credits has nothing todo with pos-attack save-game possible bug.
But a problem with certain ships that even after landing on the sea bed, do not give any credits (either their sank are logged the captain's log) and this always happens with a medium/small merchants...(when take torp after torp to fill them with water and take amost one/two or more days to finally start sinking)
With GW I had to recur to save-game due to this issue (as workaround) the problem.
And most of the times that I do the reload, the same target goes bang with one/two torps like this damage mod didn't exist... with other advantage beside saving torps... I get the sink logged and its credits.
I have to say this caviat, is anoying (due to the time that takes to reload the game). For that reason that I've asked in one of my posts if someone would know where I could rollback this damage mod.
Note: I'm not criticising the ideas that this damage mod introduces. But the fact that in certain circunstances it doesn't seem to work properly, specially when the target sanks and no log is recorded (eventually no credits added).
I'm sorry I don't know how to better express the circusntaces to help someone to look into and tweek what needs to be tweeked.
