Or, as the squadron adjutant reminded Leutnant Stachel in "The Blue Max," when the good Leutnant's SE-5 kill went unconfirmed - "Then you have the deep satisfaction of knowing you have served the Fatherland."
In a similar vein, I have noted on a few occasions that during a protracted engagement, when I am both attacking a convoy and attempting to dodge its escorts at the same time, some of my sinking markers are a nice fresh red and others are greyed-out.
