Anybody Had This Before??

Torpedoed a small merchant (enemy this time, not a neutral!! LOL), followed it for four and a half hours to make sure it went down, the crew cheered, theres a red sunk ship on the nav map, BUT - no "she's going down" message and it's not showing in the log as sunk?!?!?!?

Anybody came across this before?

Unfortuantly yes.

Sometimes even when you hang around to see a ship sink the game refuse's to credit you.
Was there bad weather by any chance?
I think sometimes the game decides the boat was sunk by the waves and not your torpedos.

Yes, HELLISH weather - so is that something I should get used too? A small glitch?

I tailed it until it was dead in the water, and waited for the confirmation message. Next thing it starts making between 1 and 3 knots, sometimes going back to 0. I assumed it was the AI simulating repair work, the same as we do with our uboats. So if I see that again I think I might as well spend another fish in her?

Standard SH3 feature

I don't think anyone has modded a way round it.

BTW... How did I double post? Sorry, probably my fault.

Don't follow any ship for four hours. If it doesn't go down in a hour.............

If the weather tis bad give it another torp rather than risk losing it
Hate to think how much renown my weather has
