Yes, in DW 1.04 platforms can "sink" without actually being "destroyed", that is, with less than 100% damage.

This is a BUG.

I know this because AI platforms treat platforms that have sunk with less than 100% damage as if they are dead. This means that some kinds of damage (proximity and collision) are being reported to some parts of the NSE without being reported to the interface.

This bug is directly related to the failure of two-stage weapons to list platform kills in the mission debrief screen as of DW 1.04. I suspect these bugs were created when the coders at Sonalysts attempted to fix the miscommunication between the NSE and ownship sensor feedback (ownship torpedo pinging when preenabled in DW 1.03 and as well as the ESM feedback from the FFG AI MH60) and/or the buoyancy model.

Cheers,
David
