Flooding pulled us down to 150+ m twice, and my hull was so weak I believed we were going to be a crushed tin can at any moment. But we lost the DDs and slunk away far enough to do our repairs, and I watched in freeview that BB take water and sink over an hour or 2 later. But no one ever said 'She's going down', and when I checked my logs there was no mention of that fabulous kill! Luckily I saved just before I launched those fish - but I'm not looking forward to escaping again. Is this a bug? or had I got so far away from it (probably about 20km) I didn't 'know' it had sunk?

Also I'm in June '41, on my third patrol, and have not seen one, not one, single enemy aircraft. I keep reading about people coming across 7 or so before they've even reached their grid. Whats going on? I feel that when I do finaly catch sight of one I will just sit their and stare with amazment.

I'd be curious as to where that happened. I've had 2 C-2's do that to me, where I sank them fair and square, watched them go down, and didn't get the 'Enemy Unit Destroyed' message, or the renown for the kills. Both of those happened (on different missions) in the straight between the Orkneys and the Shetlands.

That's VERY interesting as it was around here - AM30something?
