Default Warship credit ?

I have managed to sink an escort carrier just before my internet connection was lost. Later when I re-connected I saw the carrier exploded and went to the bottom of the sea; however, I have never get credited a sank warship.

Is that a bug or perhaps other friendly submarine got him? (I did report contact 10 minutes before the attack)

You guys have to sink the carrier when she is patroling, a port kill wont count. I tested this. Sunk a carrier at port, no mission update, then sunk another one I encounter later on patrol, and the mission updated. I am not 100% sure of this, but it made sence to me after the patrol kill.

Port raiding won't count towards it as far as I can see.

All my 'goal' kills were done when the TF was out on patrol.

Happened to me with a freighter. Had sunk one already in a convoy. Was just driving along and a single unescorted showed up. Went after her with my deck gun and down she went. No credit.

I had one more ship to sink for one of the british supplies missions, So I left port fully loaded and set coarse for the shiping lanes west of Ireland.

On the way there, I ran into a task force of the usual ring of DD's. In th middle of which was a Kent, Queen E BB., and a large Carrier, bigger than the ones i usually see. ( The fact that I have seen one is disturbing to me, but not as much as the fact that I have sank like 5 of them)

Anyway, I got all the Bigguns' and then sat for a while till things cooled off. Sailed off into the sunset, where I found my last merchant I knew I had to sink. Sank it with the deck gun in calm waters at the distance of 1000 meters.

Cool ! Mission Complete! Then this Pride of the English Navy crap comes up. I had just sank 3 huge capital ships, but now they want me to do it again ? I just waisted 30 days, and all my torpedos for nothing.

I already did that plus some, but BDU deems my actions as irrelevant and wants me to do it again. This sucks.
