You can fix it by not killing your own side

Yes, it is a bug in the UI, and we should ask TDW to address it once and for all...

...nonetheless this is not enought for legitimating your inconsiderate act, acecol. Your reiterative attacks against Italian naval forces has started a unprecedented crysis in the diplomatic relations with the allies, putting at risk the persistence of the Pact of Steel itself.

By order of the Fuhrer, BdU is arranging your immediate transfer in Italy. There are rumours that the Italian Minister of War wants to deal with you in person...

out of jokes I don't think it's a bug, at least it's not annoying bug..
just one simple rule - don't open fire at the German or Italian or Japan ships.. that's all..

well, it is not one of the more annoying bugs (the worst part is probably convincing newcomers of it ), nonetheless we can't confuse a CTD with a feature.

During the war it happened often that a friendly or neutral ship was sunk, and the game should take this evenience into account. I am sure there are better ways to punih us for our mistakes

as I remember, TDW knows about this issue.. it's very old problem and many NewUI versions were released after..

Again it's a very real problem for newcomers to this sim & like myself was about to give up on SH5.

It is not the TDW's or other UI problem. IT IS A GAME BUG, THAT IS TIPICAL TO VANILLA VERSION WITHOUT ANY MODS INSTALLED ALSO. The most acceptable reason is the IMPOSSIBILITY OF COUNTING ALLIED (AXIS)TONNAGE TO PLAYERS SCORE. F.e., you can fire 2 torps at german ship, and get CTD only after the 3rd torp hit, which is CRITICAL. In other words, CTD happens at the moment when the ship is 'killed' and the tonnage should be accounted....somewhere (this possibility is simply not included in game scenario by the developers).

P.s. That was discussed in TDW UI thread in 2011

I'm afraid you are mistaken here, Vlad. IT IS NOT A GAME BUG. THIS BUG IS EXCEPTIONALLY BY NEWUI.
I remember, I practiced in torpedoing the German ships before I installed NewUI.

However, I decided to check it again.
Stock game, Kiel, September 3, 1939
I'm able to sink ships in the Keil harbour without any freezes, hangs or CTDs..

seems that the treason virus is spreading on subsim, sparing no one. I wonder who will be the next illustrious victim

P.S: can anyone tell me where can I find the Bismarck in campaign, urgently please?

OK-OK-OK
HOWEVER_ I, (on occasion) will screw up in port when using Binoculars, looking at a fat German Merchant.....and invariably (accidentally) press the "SPACE BAR"
This has the effect of immediately firing the deck gun while I'm pressing every button on the keyboard trying to make the firing stop (except the correct button of course) and this has happened several times.
Doesn't crash the game though, I have to live through the experience!
