Allied Ships raining from the sky

[Annatar]

I installed GWX 2.0 yesterday and twice since then have encountered this issue - I'll be submerged at periscope depth, with English ships scouting me out up above, when I hear the 'Yeah!' exclamation from one of my crew, which usually accompanies a Torp hit - and the sound of explosions. Confused, I go into free view and poke the camera above the surface, only to be confronted with a burning ship raining from the sky again and again (it respawns in the sky every rime it hits the water) until after a few seconds I CTD.

Vista, in its infinite wisdom, hasn't generated any error reports for me, so I can't post any data, but GWX is the only mod I'm using, and it came with its own installer, so I'm reasonably confident that I didn't cock up the installation.

I suspect this is an issue with two ships colliding, since both times there were a few ships up there - the first time a V&W and what I think was a torp boat, while the second time I was in an English post which was heavy with armed trawlers.

I've been in similar isutations without GWX and never encountered anything like this. Is it a known issue in GWX?

edit - just read the update notes for 2.1 which mentions self-destruction of certain ships with depth charages. This may well be my issue, so apologies for wasting your time.

From the sky ?
lol
No never heard of that one
How odd

May not be installed correctly if on vista
Vista is its own nightmare

Will see if anyone else posts on the problem

Update to GWX 2.1
Several ships were fixed that no longer 'Bounce about'
I'd almost bet there is the problem.

Dude, you ain't seen half of it.
I got ships raining from the sky
literally

And yeah, about your problem.
It's just a bug in the game, get over with it.
Sometimes, no matter how slow things you take, the fate might just fluffy'd up with you just for his own amusement. This is why none game is perfect, they all have their own bugs.

I remember seeing that in an early version of GWX (1.3?) it just didn't respawn though.

If all else fails, "Man the Flack Guns!"
