The usual unrecorded tonnage issue, why??

If you want your tonnage score to be correctly recorded you have to send a patrol report by radio message!

I sent a patrol after every attack (and seeing the 'She's going down' message). :hmm:

Try doing again it before docking...

Lol...
No thats absolutely not true... it doesnt matter if you send a Report or not...

@Boggy
I dunno why you are a victim to this bug, i only had this in MP a few times, never in SP...

As far as I know, if you upgrade your sub before leaving port on the first patrol, no tonnage is recorded. How on Earth Ubisoft came up with such a bug, though, I don't know

You can always manually edit it in the cfg file

Well, I just finished my second patrol, and the tonnage is recorded!
I only sank allied ships this time....on my first patrol I also sank a few neutral units, could that also be a reason why the tonnage wasn't recorded?

A funny thing happened during this second patrol, I shot a torpedoe at a large merchant, it hit but it didn't sink....so I repositioned myself and shot again and sunk it this time round. But for some reason I didn't get the message 'she's going down' and therefore also didn't get the tonnage. I've not seen this before...is it another bug?

Hmm did you wait around to actualy see if it realy went down? As if you get 2 far from the ship it will magicly fix itself (once you get out of sensor range) and continue on.

Neutral shipping in a convoy should not affect your renoun. But, this could depend on the year. I sank a neutral Coastal Merchant in a convoy, July 1942 heading out of the Channel back south to wherever, and my renoun was not penalised. She showed as my target, and green in the TDC which means neutral. But note too that she had a deckgun mounted on the stern.

I my Nov 1940 patrol I sank a Neutral C2 cargo with no deckguns, and had no reprimands or loss of renoun.
