I took the credit and ran expecting a ton of DDs to arrive on the scene.

My question is had I hung around, would I have eventually seen the ship sink, and is it normal for GWX to give credit if the engine determines that the damage was enough to cause the ship to sink?

Thanks
The answer to your first question is....Yes, you would more than likely have seen the ship sink.

For example: Let us say a ship has a number of damage points. Once that level of points has been reached, the ship is beyond saving.

In answer to your second question...It is the game engine that determines/calculates when sufficient damage has been caused. In collaboration with the GWX damage system.
