One thing I like about the game, it does not have a cheat that tells you "Sub destroyed!" as the game is going. It gives you a tally after the game is concluded.

There are other ways to tell when you're on target.

Actually it does tell you on the tracking board.

If you look quickly enough after a depth charge drop, instead of "Contact Lost" or "Radar/Sonar Contact", it'll say "Sunk by Bloodhound" or similar (can't remember the exact wording).

I got into the habit of checking the board if I saw an oil slick, because 1 or even 2 oil slicks doesn't guarantee the sub is sunk in the current closed beta build the testers have.

Another way to know if the sub is sunk is to look in the tactical screen, the submarine red tracking lines, disapear automatically.
But I have to say that the oil slick is a nice feature and it is nicely implemented.

Just a comment about a previous statement from me regarding the possibility of having information about the convoy Base course and speed.
I have just discovered that information (BC and SPD) is already displayed in the „Contact station“ however apparently it does not update if the convoy maneuvers.
I have just discovered this yesterday and I need to take a look again. I belive the information about own ship also does not update, but in any case I am happy that the developers have already consider this and probably this will be fully operational at a later stage.
