Luftwaffe doing hellova job

April 1943, Algier and Tripoli had fallen. I decided to take my VIIB to patrol the sea lane between Tripoli and ports futher east.

When I was passing south of Sicily between Pantelleria and Tunis, I got action.

4-5 ship convoys with ocean liners, small merchant with lone escorts, Almost every 8-12 hours, coming through. I was trying to follow some of these contacts, but the Luftwaffe, (or Italian Airforce) are always one step ahead of me. They was sinking ships left and right as soon as they enter my visual range:hmm:, A total of 4 ocean liner (big and small), 2 troop ships, 2 ore carriers, and numerous smaller vessels and escort ships. I almost have to conclude they sit right on top of me and do this to frustrate and entertain me at the same time. Quite a show, boys.

I did get credit for 2 kills, while I probably had a hand in the sinking of 4-5 more. kind of fun to see all those dead ship icon littering my route though. Some one tell the RN to stop sending live bait through here with so little protection.

However, through all this, I never see a plane doing the attacking, (I am at P-depth and I see plenty of AA fire not aim at me) So I don't know whether they are German or Italian.

Question: How does the game decide the awarding of sinking credits?
