Bug or am I missing something ?

[blackcan]

Hey guys,
Now that I understood the basics I do a lot of quick missions to practice but yesteday I encountered something weird.

As I start I got 3 surface contact 1 I identify as a cruise ship and the other was a us patrol ship and the other was hostile.
The broadband showed me that it drives away in my direction.
So I gathered 4 different contacts on him
Bow array
Visual
EMS and towed array

So I was pretty good to determine his exact position.
But due the fact he was about 14-16 nmi Away from me I decided to attack him with Missles.
I shot 2 and both hit.
But it didn't count as a kill (no message)
So I drive in his direction to look if he is just not able to drive anymore (broadband and narrowband was silent).
But nothing no where.... so I decided that I end the mission and look in the replay what happend...
I saw there that it didn't got killed but according to "show truth" on the replay it was 1000 yards in front of me but there Was Nothing.
Was that a bug?

Are you running any mods? I didn't install LWAMI all the way when I first started using it and a lot of the models weren't there. If the ship was moving I would just see a wake. Once I actually went through and installed it properly, the models showed up. Since your target wasn't moving you wouldn't even have had the wake.

But I saw it before the Missles hit
And no so far I don't have any mods installed because I'm
Kinda new to modern subsims
Would you recommend to get that mod?

Edit: I got the win 8 fix if that counts

The Windows 8 fix, as it was designed, is just so you can run the game on Windows 8 and up. The problem was the game wouldn't launch. Who knows if it has other effects.

The game can be buggy, yes. I have experienced things similar to what you're describing. The replay is not always truthful as to what happened in the mission, unfortunately. Usually it is, but sometimes it's not.

I remember I put "transparent water" on "yes" in the hope the water would have a transparency but it doesn't.
Could that cause such things ? (It was in the samw file as "ModeID" )
And is there a mod how fixes the known bugs ?

@FPSchazly
Thanks for your videos btw
They helped me so much to get into the game as well as the guide from tachmen

I doubt transparent water would do that. (Why would you want it anyway? lol) I think RA and LWAMI might fix some bugs but don't quote me on that. I only know the stock game really well.

You're welcome! Glad they could help!
