I had something kinda like that. Was showing a large convoy out of the islands off Japan. Four escorts with about 8 or 9 merchants. After a few minutes I noticed that the Destroyer in the back of the pack was'nt moving. At first I thought maybe they had detected me and were "listening" for me. However several minutes went by and still no movement, with the rest of the convoy leaving out of sonar range. So I decide to approach the DITW Destroyer and to my amazement it was a-blaze. I was stunned. I had not fired any fish or shells. So I pull up to her beam and fire off a fish and blam, credit for a sinking.

I also have noticed after finishing a mission in the bay area, once I get to open seas while suberged I have unexpainable explosions, leading to my sinking and death. 500 feet of water under me, nothing over me. Weird.

Oh-oh, and one more thing. I snuck into the bay again, sank a Carrier and two heavy cruisers at anchor, then put two fish into another Destroyer. It did'nt sink but limped to the other side of the bay at a mere 8 knots. Then, all of a sudden, it goes into reverse, at 28 KNOTS!!!!! Wth?
