Weirdest bug I have seen

I want to begin this thread by saying that this is the one of the most fun games I have every played on a cumputer and it is also the most!!!! frustrating.

Well to begin my story I was traveling into Curacao to hopefully bust up some tankers and it all started about 85km from the harbor i get the message from the watch that a warship is spotted, and thought to myself, I have reached the outer picket destroyers, I ran up thet UZO to take a quick look before deciding to submerge or run. The speed reading on the destroyer is 0 knots, very odd :hmm: . I make an X on my nave map and begin a submerged approach just to see what he does. He does nothing just sits there at 0 knots

. I thought well OK tordedo him and he goes up in a huge explosion.

I surface to recharge batterys and get a topedo down out of external stores (As a side note I have traveled all the way from Lorent without firing a shot, seeing a single ship, or geting a radar, or signal contact all at TC256). I approach the port and find a clemson destroyer and an armed merchant as inner guards, they are acting normally. I torpedo the Clemson (magnetic shot under the stack) and he carries on like nothing happened

, when he comes around again (he was still running his square

) I hit him with an impact topedo under the aft gun mount and he slowly floods and sinks as the trawler searches and depth charges my decoy. I wait a bit and the trawler continues his square and take him out with a magnetic shot under te stack (continued his square while he sank:hmm: ).

I'm thinking great I have the harbor to myself at this point. I get a line on a large tanker and fire two impact shots at it with a 4m depth setting. The torpedos travel to within 300m of the tanker and blow up (WTF)

. My first thought is sub net so I back off and go around to the outside of the port where a medium tanker is sitting and send two torpedoes toward him set 2m deep, and the same thing happens

, the torpedoes blow up at 300m from the tanker (WTF). I am a little po'ed at this point.

I decided to try to go back to the large tanker and try to get a differnt angle on her and I got to within 400m and I get the mesage that I am taking damage. Hull integrety down to 99% and the forward crew quarters are yellow. NO screeching metal sound from a sub net and the bottom reads 410m below me. So I backed up and now am taking damage in the rear of the boat, got that fixed, and got off what ever I was hung up on and traved to the other end of the harbor where two small tankers where sitting, singled torpedos ran straight an true to each target hiting them under the stack.

At this point it truely gets wierd, I get a sonar contact, a merchant medium speed closing, get the scope up just in time to see a medium and a small tanker come into view and then just disappear compleatly, litterally vanished before my eyes:hmm: .

Sorry to be so long winded but this was the crazyest thing that I have had happen so far, mystery forcefields and ghost ships that vanish before my eyes.

As a side note I was in this harbor before in a NYGM career and none of this happened. Current career is GW. O'well I am off to reload and begin this patrol from scratch again. I welcome all your comments.
