Shortchanging? Am I doing something wrong?

jbt308 · 09-22-07, 08:32 PM

So I sink this single cargo shipping crusiing along by itself. I blast it with 2 torpedoes, it goes under, no credit.

So I reload, try again, no credit.

I reload like 4 times, trying differnet strategies, even steaming towards it and blasting with e deck gun. No credit.

I just figure it's a fluke, only use a fish to sink it and go on my way. And sink 7 other ships and rack up 26k tons.

Next patrol I manage to sneak into Tokyo harbor and see a fat carrier and heavy cruiser sitting at their morings. I pump 6 into the carrier and 4 into the cruiser. No credit. Seriously, wtf? I'm using TM and the Natural Sinking Mechanics 3.3, and I observed them, but no credit.

Is there something wrong here? Thanks for any help.

That's odd, haven't heard of that before.

I thought the same as well. I've played many patrols on SH3 and a couple on SH4 and have never seen it before. I'm wondering if there's something I'm not doing to trigger the "She's Going Down" tick because of the constraints of the NSM.

Just wondering.. have you recieved to """" Enemy Destroyed message?

I remember in the days of SH2, that you could tick an option that wouldnt tell you wether or not youd finally finished off a target. Perhaps NSM has withdrawn the message to keep you guessing?:hmm:

With Regards,

Yeah, I've received the message for other ships, also, they show up in my log. None of the ships I mentioned ever showed up in the capt. log.

hmm.. thats very disturbing then

I'd say it were a bug but nowadays, everytime someone says a thing on their game doesnt work it's a bug (albeit this is pretty much what a bug is, usually these things can be solved through common sense)..

I must say this is a totally irrevelant and useless post too..

With Regards
