sinking markers not there...

Kpt. Kozloff · 02-15-07, 08:15 AM

Hi,
Recently i spotted that some ships are sinking without leaving a mark on the map (red nor grey) but these sinkings appear in the captains log. When you exit mission all ships sunk are noted as allied. Have you got any idea what's causing it?
Grey markings on the map sometimes turn out to be allied in the end as well. (?)
This is a random thing in both cases though. A bug...?

I'm using GWX + Ocean Blue's Final Damage Mod, just started a new career October 1939 2nd patrol. And no, i'm not saving the game in 50 km vicinity of the target/ship nor land.

Any ideas guys?
Thanks.

I get this also. I did notice it in stock SH3 occasionally but I find it to be exacerbated in GWX.

Exactly.
Isn't that odd? Stock SH3 had it too but it wasn't so common.
I also found that it happens at rough seas the most often. But these ships don't sink 'cause of bad weather though...

I get it, too, on occasion. Never had it on stock SHIII

Every day I read this forum, I discover a new feature of SH3 that I have not discovered.

Sunk ships are marked on the map? Really?

I have never seen it in 7 patrols...

Perhaps you need to have a proper realism setting? I selected the setting that does not give you map updates of contacts. That seems to control a whole bunch of stuff...

Obviously it's not happening at "no map contacts update" setting. It's only when the god's eye view is ON.

It's just an observation of a certain problem.
