Sinking ships not credited for

leorfeo · 08-03-14, 03:48 AM

Hello subsimmers,

i have a question concerning the sinking of ships and the mapmarker. Its my understanding, that when you see the red marked icon of a sinking ship on you navigational map it will be counted as sunk by you. ok.

I attacked a convoy in late 1939 of the coast of england and fired 2 torpedoes each at two troop transport ships. All hits. One troop ship is sinking right away and counted and im credited with its sinking - the other one struggles for a good 7 minutes and then is going down - i get the action camera on it. Funny thing is - the sinking of this second transport is not credited! Its not marked on the map - though it went to the buttom!

What is wrong here - has any one encountered this and how can it be fixed?

My game is a digital version (Gold) from Gamersgate.

I have the Wolves of steel V1.2 + patch, TDW Realistic navigation and Realistic Hydrophone Mods installed and active.

Thx.

Yes it has happened to me once. I am running Silent Hunter 4 Gold Edition. I chalked it up to All Guts No Glory. Not a solution I know just saying it happened

Hmmm, that has never happened to me before. Have you tried reloading a save and seeing if it still happens?

Hi there,

reloading "fixes" it, but i have to sink again and hope it doesn`t happen again. Sometimes both will be counted, sometimes not.

I have hit ships , but did not see them sink . now in the course of battle Avoiding Escorts and wasserbomben . Iam more focused on evading these situtaions , However after a few hours and a message this ship sank etc . could this be true for you ?

Hi kimuraijn,

no thats not true for me. Waiting for hours does not count them in. What i found out is, that when i save after i sunk both of them but only was credited for one and the reloaded the game - the one that clearly sunk but was not credited was alive and well again
