Ahh. How did they get you? depth charge? This in the S boat in Aleutians?
S Boats, are kind of death traps now, bit more reflective of their limitations etc. . I made a lot of changes to them, they were like deep diving tanks before lol.
Well it won't count your tonnage sunk on patrol you were killed, because you did not make it back to home port, so game doesnt update the list but can go to the Documents/SH4 folder/cfg/savegames/Insert Name of Save here/Careertrack
Scroll down you'll find entries like this:
[CareerTrack 1.CareerStatusSave 16]
ID=ID
Reason=CSS_UnitDestroyed
NameDisplayable=_JP Big Old Split Merchant#2
CurrentDate=1942-08-19 08:58:00
LocationName=

TargetLocation=-5.42741,9.76705e-043
UnitDestroyed=KLSSHansa,_JP Big Old Split Merchant#2
EUnitType=102
Now I am in July 1944 now and it goes back whole career.
Think is it does not call them by the "Maru" names, so in order to know what are talking about, pull up the roster, go tino TMO Data/Roster/names...youll see a bunch of ships names and their actual names, you could ctrl+f and type in KOBAYASHI and it will show you the names, so you can match the names to see the ships. That will will also tell you, your total tonnage etc at the top

I found a program here in the d/l section that will parse a game save and put it in Word format so you can read it.
She got me with DCs about 30min after I suck the Maru. I was trying to sneak away at 180ft and thought I lost her, but no. I had TC on about 8 when it happened so I didn't have enough time to do damage control.
<Note to self, don't do that>
It was in an S-boat. I was assigned a photo mission in a harbor SW of Tokyo and I was north of there along the coast at night when radar picked them up. 2 fish into Maru but didn't sink. 1 more and she starting sinking, but the Patrol Boat started for me. The rest is history.
I noticed one thing with the S-boats. It seems 20mm gun fire will do terrific damage to the boat. Even from just a few hits. Seems unrealistic to me.
I was searching for a Maru contact, at night in a storm, couldn't see ****, when all of a sudden I hear ping, ping, ping. I then saw it at about 11 o'clock and crashed dived. I thought I was going to collide but the sub went right under at amidships. A couple of minutes later I saw all the damage messages and then the normal game pause when sunk and then CTD. I was in shallow water, less than 300ft, so I don't know if I hit bottom or not.
I've been trying to recreate it to find out if the 20mm damage is to great. It could be just fine, but I don't remember it being that strong before.
I think I'm gonna change my captains name to either Kamikaze or Idiot. I take to many chances and the outcome is usually not good.
Great job, btw on the mod.
Here is the program.
