Playing sh3/gwx. 180 km se of valleta. encounter an s-boat. surface on it's tail and proceed to fill it full of holes expending all of my ammo. does not sink!!! anybody else encounter anything like this? can these craft be sunk or are they just eye candy. would like to know before I pull another "Ahab". Cheers.

I know I've torped a few of them, they go down quick.

I had a similar experience in the Med with an s-class sub in GWX. Put three torps in it and almost all my deck gun ammo, but it didn't sink

Tested it later again in a mission and the sub went down like a stone

I guess it's a strange, rare bug.

IIRC geck gunning only you won't sink an S-Class. You'll need to torpedo it. Not sure what the problem was but recall there was an issue with it.

I shot one torpedo and hit the stern. After that the stern of the sub was deep in the water, but it did not sink. I put two more torpedoes in it (at different sections), but I could not see any further damage. The deck gun ammo also did not cause any damage. Somehow it seemed that the sub became invincible after the first hit (it also did not shoot back

)

I shoot at them with my AA Guns then switch to the deck gun when there closer, two or three rounds dose the trick.
