As we can read in these thread:

People don't take any credits for sinking enemy subs.

Could any one please fix that bug?

IMO there should be no sub-sinking-sub scenario in the SH5 at all.
As far as I know there was only ONE confirmed sinking sub by another sub in the entire WW2.

The scenario in Mediterranean requiring you to sink THREE british submarines to accomplish it is (so far) the most derailed and retarded idea the devs came up in SH5.

In my years of playing SH3GWX I managed to sing an enemy sub ONCE...!
On the other hand I agree, you should get credited or it.

You might want to check out the story of USS Batfish...

@JCC USS Batfish sunk three Jap submarines in her career.

I was actually talking about U-BOAT sinking another sub... Should have stated that, sorry.

Correction: No u-boat has ever sunk enemy submarine, the occurrence I know about actually happened the other way around: U864 (type IXD2 ) was sunk by the British Submarine HMS Venturer on 9 Feb 1945 (the only known incident where one submerged submarine sank another submerged submarine).

According to uboat.net twelve u-boats were sunk by submarines, while u-boats sank four of their enemies.
edit: Only British subs are counted above. Other allied submarines sank several more u-boats.

List of all u-boats sunk by enemy subs(total of 22):

I had no idea we'd be asked to sink three subs for a goal. That's a bit insane.
In all my years playing Sh3, Sh3 GWX, Sh4, Sh4 UBM... The only sub I've ever made sink was one that was in port...speed...zero. Bearing 000. No problem. I have a feeling when it comes to that mission I may just turn in my sub and go to a bar to drink with Thompsen while Bernard takes the sub for a spin.

Will be interesting to see what the patch actually fixes once its released, as the devs have at least an extra week mabye they would be so kind and fix this too. Guessing its not high on their list though.

Hmmm... Interesting. Too bad there is no additional data on it.
But I found out about another two (this time an u-boat actually sinking submarines):

On 10 April 1940 U-4, a Type II boat under the command of 25 year old Hans -Peter Hinsch sank the 1100 ton British submarine Thistle off Stavanger Norway. Thistle was the first submarine confirmed as being sunk by a U-boat and was the only Allied warship sunk by U-boats during the Norwegian campaign.

1 August 1940 Wilhelm Rollman skipper of U-34 a Type VIIA boat sank the British submarine Spearfish while returning to base with his last torpedo, there was one survivor. This was in Norwegian waters also.

Anyway, let's not hijack this poor man's topic...
