No credit for sunk ships

arbter5 · 04-03-17, 06:07 PM

So its July 31st 1944 I'm in Grid BF17 and i just sunk two large troop ships (not together they where both speeding by unescorted one at a time) and after sinking the the second one with my deck gun I noticed that I had not received credit for sinking it. i thought maybe it needs a moment to realize its going under but after about 5-10 minutes of waiting after she slipped beneath the waves I decided to reload an old save and see if it just glitched and may fix itself. Well 4 trys later with both torpedoes and deck gun attacks I cant seem to get the game to give me credit for the ship.

If anyone has any idea why this may be I would greatly appreciate the help.

I've had this problem... I attacked a convoy, sank 2 ships. I saved and ended the game in the normal way.

Like a fool, I began playing with my mod soup while still on patrol.

I load up and play the game. Two ships come by, I sink them and they never register.

Turns out they were the same ship type I sank in the convoy earlier!

Do not play with your mods while out on patrol. It will mess up your gameplay.

so your sayin its the game spawning the ship in again even thought its already sunk? That's really odd but i guess its explains what happened, though I haddent left the game between ships.

Did you mod between saves? If so they can be ships from a different engagement!

No I have not messed with my mods in like 15 patrols

The game can reload sunk ships, if it scripted to have that ship sail again. So if you happen to sink a specific ship (warship),and still are on patrol when that ship is scheduled to sail again, you might see it sail by. I think I got the Hood twice in one patrol once.

As to your original question, Weather and other game elements can impart damage onto ships. If the weather was bad, it could cause the last few hp's of damage to the nearly sinking ship, robbing you of the kill. Other times, other vessels or planes can get that last hit in, again stealing your kill.
