I think it's not right. It should go to warships

AND

When I opened my Personnel File I can't see the tonnage for S-class sub (767 tons) counted in. Only when I hit on patrol number to see details I can see tonnage summary with S class sub. So for instance Personnel File gives me total tonage like this:
1819MAR41 - 31MAR41 (13 days)2 (2/0)4429 (4429/0)

While Captains log shows:

Patrol results
Crew losses: 0
Ships sunk: 3
Aircraft destroyed: 0
Patrol tonnage: 5196 tons

U need to focus on 18 patrol




Hope it helps to see what I mean

Pardon for low quality

A Subsim colleague alerted me to this thread (and a few others it seems) and as the answer is painfully simple for me, I will answer it now.

Simply, SH3 (ie not GWX OR SH3Cmdr) does not record the details of submarines sunk in career files. In patrol logs, yes; but career files no. And IIRC this extends to the associated renown as well.

I alerted the GWX team to this problem a loooong time ago (I think I may have even still been on the team), but either they couldn't figure out a work-around (I naively suggested classing enemy submarines as a kind of warship, but dunno if that was feasible), or they simply ignored me.

Either way, this is a problem that ALL GWX users will encounter and one that the GWX team has to address. All SH3Cmdr does is report what it finds; whether it is right or not is left up to each mod to work out. The only "error correction" that SH3Cmdr applies relates to known stock issues.

I wouldn't expect a fix for the problem now.

Erm, your Personnel File image shows you as receiving the German Cross on 26 Dec 1939?! :hmm:
