This is true. My lookouts reported a sighting yesterday. When I took a look the vessel seemed to be making a lot more smoke than usual. As I was making my underwater approach, the target went dead in the water. I eased in for a close up look and saw that the ship was afire, dead in the water and sinking slow by the bow. I finished her off and got the credit. I don't have a clue as to who or what had worked her over. No other traffic in the area for miles.

Not too uncommon either is the situation where I begin a long distance interception run. Before I get anywhere near visual range the map's target symbol turns into a sunk ship symbol. Those I don't get credit for.

Actaully earlier today, I was taking my IID into Scapa Flow, and I shot a torpedo at a Small Depot Ship. I hit its fuel storage I imagine because he just exploded and sunk, however, there was a Black Swan class stopped maybe 20 meters behind it, and the thing just started sinking, I dont know why, but it did. It showed the ship sunk icon on the map but I didn't get credit for it. Needless to say I was a bit confused because I hadn't picked up any hydrophone contacts other than a V&W class far to my left.

You get renown only for those you are directly responsible for sinking...and only when you receive the "She's going down" message.

See thats strange, I never get the "She's going down" message, but whenever a ship is about 2/3rds in the water it plays the cheering when a torpedo impacts a ship. Plus ships take about an hour or 2 to sink (I use the realistic ship sinking time). Even though I never get that message I always get renown for it, its weird.

That is not the norm....honestly

As long as you get your reward/renown, that is the main thing

I suppose it works, but then again they usually show the message when I find one out on the open sea. I rarely see the little sunken ship icon or hear "She's going down" when I raid ports, which is what I normally do. Its easy kills with a type II.

EDIT: I apologize for the long response, I was having computer troubles and got caught up in school.
