It was either a DD or a ghost or your game files are fubar ? You'll have to decide.

You get all kinds of sounds when damage is taking place during and after. Usually you get damaged and as more things go wrong, you can hear scraping, banging, hissing as your ship takes more damage. How deep were you...could've been a plane, but I don't think RFB has those deadly TMO planes that can hit you deep. Did you see any planes around?

The issue is, people say this happens alot, most newer players loading harder mods. This is a common complaint, but their are no known bugs that cause this. A few facts are always the same, TC was being used and escorts are in the contact zone....Understand a lot of time can pass using even low TC, crank it up to even the 40's and that's enough time for a DD to sink you and be gone. By the time your PC has read all of that and slowed down enough to give you the damage messages a lot of time has gone by. Another factor is your PC specs and how fast your PC can read and process info.

I've run into mines, but you don't hear them scraping in the game, but mines are rare and you said this happens alot.

If you're sure this is phantom damage happening on it's own, then it can only be one thing, you have mod soup or bad files, but I've never heard of this bug, not that it may not be out there.

Good luck..
