Ship sunk. no renoun or mark on the map !!

Frustrating !

It is midnight !! Large Tanker (~13,600 tones)
One torpedo hit in the 1st 3rd.. flames… (slowing down to stop)

I surfaced about 1,800 meters from her half sunk massive body.
She sees me. Both her spotlights lights on my submarine.

3 – 4 deck gun shots – the spot light stopped lighting.

That's it!

No "She's going down.."
No mark on the map.
No renoun

WTF !!

What do I do in such situation ?!

Thanks,
Temujin

I've handed a few big ship a serious whoopin' and still had them slip away. I had to regroup reload and go after them again before they sank. I have also had ships show up in the log that I thought had escaped.

You will only get renown after the message "She's going down"

The time it takes a ship to sink is variable from seconds to minutes, or even (in exceptional cases) days.

If the crew has the in engine skill level of "Elite" then it I think they will manage flooding extremely efficently to the point where blowing them with the deck gun is the only way to finish them off after a torpedo.

That happened to me a few days ago. Sank a DD and Large Cargo (days apart) and didn't get credit for either.

Have to say though with several 100s of ships sunk I'm willing to let the occasional error pass.

I'm willing to bet Bernard sabotaged your records mate

Stick with em until you get the "She's going down" message.
