Bug or am I missing something ?

But I saw it before the Missles hit
And no so far I don't have any mods installed because I'm
Kinda new to modern subsims
Would you recommend to get that mod?

Edit: I got the win 8 fix if that counts

The Windows 8 fix, as it was designed, is just so you can run the game on Windows 8 and up. The problem was the game wouldn't launch. Who knows if it has other effects.

The game can be buggy, yes. I have experienced things similar to what you're describing. The replay is not always truthful as to what happened in the mission, unfortunately. Usually it is, but sometimes it's not.

I remember I put "transparent water" on "yes" in the hope the water would have a transparency but it doesn't.
Could that cause such things ? (It was in the samw file as "ModeID" )
And is there a mod how fixes the known bugs ?

@FPSchazly
Thanks for your videos btw
They helped me so much to get into the game as well as the guide from tachmen

I doubt transparent water would do that. (Why would you want it anyway? lol) I think RA and LWAMI might fix some bugs but don't quote me on that. I only know the stock game really well.

You're welcome! Glad they could help!

Remember that seeing a model in the 3d windows is only as correct as you made your classifications and TMA. Only if you have Show truth on does the 3d windows show the contact in the actual location and the actual class model. Except when viewing from the bridge, periscope or high frequency active sonar, or windows on the PC-3/OHP/Helo. Then you do see the contact as the true location and model from the sensors point of view (active sonar or the mk1 eyball).

If the patching/batch scripting didn't work correctly then that might cause invisible contacts indeed.

Also, replay seems to do weird stuff sometimes. It can get out of sync if you have long replays and use time compression a lot. So what you saw in there might not actually be what happened.

p.s.

That sounds like a contradiction. Either it drives away, or it's coming in your direction.

It was droving away because I saw it with my telescope
Like I said I had a
EMS contact
Sonar contact on two array (bow and towed) (for range detection)
And a
Visual contact
And I saw how my Missles hit their target through my telescope
That's why I'm so extremmy sure that it was where it was and that I hit it twice.
But it never got me counted as a kill but it disappeared as well
@ FPSchazly
I thought transparent watee is like that you can see the first 50-70 ft into the water from the surface

Edit: it happend a second time
My target was in the ice not moving at all and I saw it through my periscope and a friendly ship saw it so I got a link to that enemy ship
I hit it with my torpedo but it just disappeard didn't count as kill aswell

Did you get a report of an explosion on the bearing of that sierra or master contact? Maybe the torpedo hit the ice instead (it's pretty hard to keep torpedoes alive in an iceberg field) Orthe target got the remaining damagepoints crushed out of it by sliding on the ice. Then you do not get the credits of the sinking.
