Neutral tonnage? What the f?

Foghladh_mhara · 04-02-07, 05:41 PM

Has anyone ever come across this scenario.

First patrol in a new boat set sail on 2nd sep 1939. I made my first sinking on Sep 4th off Scapa, a british merchant. I then sank a further 7 ships over the next 11 days to give me a grand total of 37768 BRT. However when i dock back at Willi expecting the grateful thanks of the nation and my pick of the girls my tally comes in at 8 ships sank all neutrals, total tonnage 0!

Now I did sink 2 ships in convoy at night and 1 of them was not the intended target so I could understand 1 neutral but 8? Four of them were finished off with the deck gun and I know the Red Ensign when I see it!

SHCommander is giving me a patrol tonnage of 0 and then when I click on the patrol tonnage sank it proceeds to give me the names and tonnage of all 8 ships

I'm a hero goddammit! Why wont they give me the high praise and accolades I deserve?!!

Not sure what the problem was but when I went back to the game I noticed that even though the tonnage was 0 I was still getting the full renown for the sinkings. I reloaded the save I made last night and exited straight to base and I got full credit (minus the 2 ships I sank this eve of course) for 25000 and a bit tonnes. Strange one. I haven't enabled or disabled ant mods for a week or two and rollback Commander religously after every game just in case:hmm:

I know exactly what happened because it's happened to a few people around here,including me.

When you read across from the number of ships sunk you dropped a line and read Neutral instead of Allied - honestly we've all done it

Nope didn't drop a line

Thats what I sank and this is what my patrol log showed
