Default Unsinkable Ark Royal Carrier???

Yesterday I found the Ark Royal as part of a Task Force... Fired a spread of 3 torps and all of them made a clean impact. It decreased speed to 2-3 knots for about 10 minutes, time when I shot a 4th eel that also made impact.

However, it took off at high speed after that time as if nothing happened. It listed to the side of the impacts but that's all happened. It was impossible for me to follow because I had no more torps and no way I could catch up at that ferocious pace. I checked using the external camera and the were no impact textures on the hull... Is this normal? Any possible explanations?

Thanks a lot in advance for your comments and suggestions.

Have you perhaps saved and exited game during this engagement? SH games are known to "reset" damage done to units due to savegame files not storing relevant data.

Another situation when damage is reset is moving out of rendering distance (some 20-40 kilometers depending on SH game and mod) but from your description this didn't happen here.

Probably a faulty unit conversion/transposition.

If you can send me the files of this ship, I may have a look into them. Also, send me the Zones.cfg file.

Thanks for your reply kapuhy, but I didn't save and exit, I stalked it at less than 2 Km all the time, until it took off like the Flying Dutch...
During that time, of course, I saw through the peri the 4 impacts.
As you can see, in one of the screenshots there is another ship, the Dorsetshire I think, that has 2 impacts on it and eventually went down as expected, but not the Ark Royal...


Anyway, let's se if this situation is recurrent or it was a one-time event only.
