im patrolling of the coast of Dover when my watchman spotted a convoy...odd, i have never spotted convoy's anywhere near dover...so i order my IIA under and creep up very slowly. I spot two tankers in the middle of hte convoy, and decide to target them, and ignore the coastal, small, and C2 merchants...expending all 5 of my torpedoes, i sink both of them, but on my patrol log, and after/before mission menu it states i only sunk one...even though on the map i showed i sunk both...any thoughts...bug, or mod?:hmm: and how to fix it if possible

lo mate

dont know if this has anything to do with it...but did you see both go down.....because im sure if its left out of sight...and maybe a rough sea takes her down eventually...then you wont get the credit for the hit.

if youve watched both go under then im pretty mutch stumped??

i sometimes launch a blind spread into a convoy when those rainstorms frustrate me, i hear the torpedoes hit, i see the flames through the free cam but i dont get any credit

you gotta witness it go down i think, or at least be close to it

lol, i fired from around 2000m, and when it hit, i was about 1800 m away and i saw both of them sink, and my crew were yelling YES, after each hit, sooo, lol....it says i sunk both on the map, but not on the log, or after mission report ...it was clear weather too

I've had that happen to me running just SH3 before I switched over to GWX.

I always thought it happened if you don't identify the ship type before you sink it... at least in SH3 anyway.

Playing GWX I've sunk them blind using sonar only and I still get the credit.
