and im LOVIN IT!

Ive played a few career patrols, and just started a new career and am doing pretty well.

I am on my first patrol out, and have taken probably 6 merchants down. Unfortunatly i was too far away from my patrol area, and none have counted so I have to go back and refit at the nearest port. Annoying, but it gives me more torps to take down more ships :p

HOWEVER, I think I have run into a weird bug. 2 of the ships required me to use Aft tubes, being that I had no reserve left to reload the fronts. My boat (Gar class, USS Greyback) has the deck gun mounted astern. I rotated the boat so the rear was facing the enemy ship, and proceeded to use the deck gun to hopefully conserve torpedos, being that although I use 2 torpedos on every ship I find, they rarely go down with just one salvo.

ANYWAYS, I start firing away, one ship goes down, and I start working on the other. I finally sunk it, but I had to use a torpedo...why? Check out the picture.

As you can see, the deck gun clean blew off the entire superstructure, yet the dang ship didnt register as destroyed, nor did it sink. I mean there was no way the ship could even operate...whats the deal?
