Firs Patrol Done, But with Problems (need help please!)

Cambaz · 07-23-09, 09:43 AM

Ok finally I finished my first patrol with a average succes with my type IIA, I really enjoyed that patrol because I sunk 2 British merchants for 15323 tons i reported this, then I received return to base message, so I headed to Kiel and finished my 1. patrol docked at Kiel went to my office but there was no tonnage recorded on patrol log book ! and I checked the aces list:

Me: 0 tons!

and also Renown: 0

but I sunk two British merchants whats happening? Why my sunk ships doesn't confirmed as real kills? And where is my renown I am playing with GWX 3.0 with %100 Realism and the merchants are totally enemy not natural when I sunk them they marked as red on my nav. map! Please can somebody tell me what is happening ???

I can only guess... is it possible that the rough seas stole your credit? Was it calm or stormy? Did you watch the ships sink?

yes sea was really rough but I wached them and you can see the pictures that I posted above but something is wrong as you can see I really dont understand even I sunk 2. merchant under heavy fog without any visual contact...

Oh boy... I am sorry. This was your 1st patrol.

Did you make any upgrades before you left port? There is a bug that if you do (make upgrades), you are creditless for any kills that mission.

Didnt see the screenies 1st time around my bad.

I've heard that that can cause some problems with the renown earned

edit: I need to practice my fast typing

No I am totally sure I didn't made any changes or modifications on my boat before my 1. patrol

This really sucks

First my saves gone, now I started a new career and I can't get any renown...

Not just Upgrades but Crew assignments too.

For your very first patrol in any new career it is best to just load straight into the game and then exit immediately. If you use SH3 Commander you can set your Days in Base to 1 to minimize the impact of this.

This bug only affects your first patrol and all other should be fine.

I don't know for sure if this is the cause of the no renown issue. But did you start in august '39. The english do not become enemy before a day or so in september. You would probably be lucky if those kills were not 'credited' to you in august. As you would have violated the rules of engagement. Are you sure it was an enemy? What flag did it carry? Doesn't every ship sunk show up with a red icon on the map?

you can see the ships at pictures they were carrying British merchant flags and you can see the sunk dates and record on my patrol log book they were valid British enemy merchants and they marked as red on my nav. map...
