My last patrol I encountered a convoy. I sank the lead DD, then targeted 2 merchants using bow & stern tubes. As the other escorts were approaching, I then dived to evade, not bothering to stay up to see whether the eels would hit or miss.
Whilst the other DD's and corvettes were giving me a pasting, the 2 merchants I had earlier torpedoed sank. The funny thing is, and the point of this post, is that:
a. No red icon appeared on the nav map (the DD's icon did, but I was at PD when it sank, so no surprise there).
b. I was submeregd, so I didn't see it go down, nor was there a message indicating it sank (which one would normally get from the navigator), nor did the sinking event cam trigger (I have event cam on).
c. This is the most important bit - I *still* got credit for the 2 merchants - I checked my log book and it was listed.
