no kill credited?

Very strange, I'm in the Canal, I target a British medium merchant and sink it with my deck gun (July 1940), no Luftwaffe present but kill does not get credited? I don't even see a red wreck on my map? Sunk 2 merchants already in this patrol and I do have them credited to me? I don't think I ever have had that happen to me before (GWX).

How deep was the water where it sank? Sometimes if it doesn't end up completely submerged the game doesn't consider it sunk.

About 70 meters, went down completely.

yes, I was 300 meters away, engines off and waiting for it to go down, giving it time to sink and save me some ammo.
I noticed that my crew didn't fire at the ship any more when I ordered them too, just like when you get the "ship is sinking" message, I just never got the message and never got the sinking credited to me.

No credit for sinkings can be taken for granted until you receive the message "She's going down"
