Sunk Ship - No credit?

kverdon · 01-21-08, 02:19 AM

Ok, on Patrol off Bungo Suido and have 2 ships, not in convoy heading my way. #1 is a Large Modern Composit Freighter ~7000+ tons and a Old Small Tanker ~1500 tons. I setup on the first ship, fire 4 torpedoes, score 4 hits and down she goes (have the screenshot). I then spin and fire the aft tubes at the tanker and hit with one and down she goes. Now with all tubes empty I head for Pearl. I decide to check and my log and notice that I'm only getting credit for the one tanker! No mention of the Lg. Modern Composit Freighter! This irks me so I save the game and reload just before I attacked the Freighter. Again 4 torps send it to the bottom. Again no credit! What is the deal? If this supposed to be a simulation of JANAC?

confused,

Kevin

I have experienced the same thing occassionally. Don't understand why.

Distance and bad weather can sometimes mess up creditation of a sinking. It occasionally happens, its a leftover bit of behavior from Sh3.

I've also had a ship I've been pummeling suddenly vanish from all sensors, even though I can torpedo it, run up to it and bump my nose into it and sink it. I end up with no credit either. It's happened twice. That's JANAC for you!
