Why won't those ships SINK already?!

The only ships I know of that use my zones are the ones included in FX_Update.

But I didn't add the new ships part of OHII, only the base and enviro.

Have you come across indestructible ships? I just came across this one. he didn’t want to drown, he was burning badly. In the end, he was shot from a deck gun (more than 50 shells after torp), the yellow marker disappeared from him and the gunners stopped seeing him as a target. I had to save, reload and he immediately drowned. Just didn’t sign up for my journal, well, to hell with it. Just wondering how often these things happen.

let me ask a couple of what might seem unrelated questions:

were you close to land (within 60km)?
had you sunk a ship of the same class, in that area, during the same mission?

in a previous version of SH5 (SH4, to be exact), if the two conditions above were met, the result would be exactly what you experienced.

The coast was more than 30 km and this is the second ship in the mission that I attacked (the first one sank immediately and was of a different type than the first)

And then I ran into a merchant sniper who hit my sub moving at a speed of 16 knots from a distance of more than 5 kilometers But that’s another story.
