Ghost Convoy

Thought I'd pass this on. Approaching Freetown in April '43, find small convoy of Passenger Liner, Medium Tanker and Liberty Cargo. Sunk the liner and medium tanker but got credit for sinking only the tanker. Continued onto Freetown and here comes the same convoy again. Sunk the tanker and liner again but go no credit for etiher. Must be a bug. I usually do save between sinkings and I seem to remember something related to saving and achieving credit for sinkings.

As far as the game is concerned as you have sunk it once you wont get credit a second time
Not sure how its coded but works out well in that it stops you waiting in one spot for the same ships to pass

Ask Brag he knows all about that

The second convoy was probably a zombie, which respawned too close to your position to become "active."

That's probably right. It was on the same course (toward Freetown) as the first and not far aaway from the first.
