Bad Weather Disappointment!!

I was trying to sink a ship, I think in the Solomon's. I had just fired a torpedo, then witnessed an Allied plane drop one bomb on her. I watched as the ship slipped beneath the waves. I didn't get the credit.

I had a couple sink, have no clue why and lost one to a plane one time. Swore he gave me a smile and the finger as he flew off

I watched a battleship mow down three escorting destroyers. Think that must have been the stock game because BB's are pretty rare in TMO/RSRDC.

I've had it too where all of a sudden I have no sound contact, and I think it's conditions at sea drowning out engine noise, or the target is alerted and perhaps killing engines, even though that might not be a wise choice by their captain.
Finding their bearing and pinging manual on visual will still establish sonar contact and the ship will reappear on the grid.
But if it did go down entirely weather related, perhaps it was a perfefct storm moment you got into there?
