The best Type II record I found was 14 ships sunk...in 19 patrols!

Don't feel to bad if it isn't too easy-it shouldn't be.

Thanks!

I just finished my 4th patrol. Did'nt sink a thing!

Perfect shot with a C2 < 2000m, doubleshot G7a...both missed! Fired 3 more (2G7e) at the same ship, all missed or duds......

But I love this sim!!

I sunk the ship with one torpedo and I watched the ship sink to the bottom (I was off the coast of England around the Firth of Forth so the ocean depth was quite shallow).

After sinking the ship I surfaced and sent a patrol report. Later it was replied to with "Be more aggresive." I saved and exited and come back the next day. I sunk another ship then and saved, and exited again. It only said that I had sunk one ship and recorded only the tonnage of that ship. I watched both ships hit the bottom and sent reports.

Why am I only getting credit for one? I sent reports for both, but Bdu only credited me with one?

Just out of curiousity, were you in the external camera view when the ship sank (the one you didn't get credit for)?

I don't believe so, I was watching the ship and the watch in the attack periscope view.

Has watching a ship take a torpedo in external view been known to trigger a bug in the game?

Yes, I believe so.
