Yup, that's happened to me in stock SHIII too.

I also got this in GWX, after loading a save, for any ship sunk, I didn;t got the credit as that Bernard didn't cry "She's going down". This tells me NOT to load a save, but do every stuff at one time

In TGW1.1a and NYGM this can be a problem because of sometimes long sinking times.

You have to be within visual or sound contact with the sinking ship when the message "She's going down" is seen to get renown. If you drop out of contact with the ship before it sinks, you get nothing.

There is also a stock bug that sometimes happens when you save just before a ship goes down and reload that save.

To avoid this bug save before you shoot and only after you see the above message.

Bernard should never be given any position of responsibility except swimming ahead of your boat to check for mines. Always make sure he is +500m ahead when he blows them up though!:rotfl:

Stay close-by even submerged if necessary and wait for the "She's going down" message....the stock bug element of it you'll just have to take on the chin

Also, you may not credit fo much larger ships in shallow waters. For example a Passenger Liner that you sink is still showing a good portion of its hull out of water. I used to get this a lot with these ships in the shallows near land - very frustrating after you have pumped two or four fish into it and you don't get the credit

or if it's bad weather and she sinks out of range of you the sunk icon turns grey and no credit.
