Enemy T Class Submarine.

RustySubmarine · 05-10-13, 09:44 AM

I encountered a stationary T Class Submarine in Loch Ewe, so decided to see if I could target it. I sent one torpedo from approx. 1800 yards and scored a hit. I then fired at a small tanker with tube 2 and also scored a hit. Then I decided to get the hell out of it, as quite a few searchlights came on and a couple of destroyers appeared on the scene. I managed to get to the open sea on silent running until the coast was clear, so I could surface and head off into the North sea. My Captains log showed that I had sunk the T Class sub & the small tanker. However on the chart there was only one sunk ship icon for the tanker, the submarine although sunk too, was not showing on the chart. Is this normal for submarines, not to display a sunk icon on the map, even though it is actually recorded in the captains log as sunk.

Happens quite often to me normally. Some ships just don't show as wrecks on the map. Also, I have no idea what a grey shipwreck on the map means...

This has happened to me quite a few times with targeted ships. Not sure why. I usually use the captains log to confirm a success.

The greyed out wreck is confirmation that a ship has collided or run aground. You don't get a claim for these, but if a destroyer on your tail happens to destroy itself, then I'm glad for that

On Thursday, I got this during a convoy attack. In the Atlantic. In "over 1000" depth. And I did get the renown, "She's going down!" line, sinking report in the captain's log, everything!

Ooh I sit corrected

I was sure it was my original thought. I'm pretty sure that a green wreck is a neutral

??

Incidentally I'm thinking of changing the "She's going down" line in the cfg (once I'm sure how to do it) to something like "She's had it" or "She's sinking"? Not sure yet

I seem to remember that the red sinking icon is for a visually confirmed sinking and that grey is for one that you haven't seen sink.
