Anybody Had This Before??

Nerazzurri · 11-26-07, 05:54 PM

Torpedoed a small merchant (enemy this time, not a neutral!! LOL), followed it for four and a half hours to make sure it went down, the crew cheered, theres a red sunk ship on the nav map, BUT - no "she's going down" message and it's not showing in the log as sunk?!?!?!?

Anybody came across this before?

Unfortuantly yes.

Sometimes even when you hang around to see a ship sink the game refuse's to credit you.
Was there bad weather by any chance?
I think sometimes the game decides the boat was sunk by the waves and not your torpedos.

Yes, HELLISH weather - so is that something I should get used too? A small glitch?

I tailed it until it was dead in the water, and waited for the confirmation message. Next thing it starts making between 1 and 3 knots, sometimes going back to 0. I assumed it was the AI simulating repair work, the same as we do with our uboats. So if I see that again I think I might as well spend another fish in her?

Here you go, 5000 renown points on me.

Standard SH3 feature

I don't think anyone has modded a way round it.

BTW... How did I double post? Sorry, probably my fault.

Don't follow any ship for four hours. If it doesn't go down in a hour.............

bigboywooly · 11-26-07, 11:55 PM

If the weather tis bad give it another torp rather than risk losing it
Hate to think how much renown my weather has

Jonathan · 11-27-07, 12:15 AM

Since we are handing out renown, can I get like 500,000,000...I really want that nuclear warhead....

And it sucks that this happens. I had this same kind of thing happen on the Revenge Battleship that was in port at Scapa Flow...I put three eels into it and it just sat there, listing 45 degress to port....and it never sunk.

nikbear · 11-27-07, 02:07 AM

Happened to me just of the tip of scotland,keelbusted a modern medium tanker,very pleased with myself,got the crew cheer and to words'she's going down' but when I looked on the map there was no sunk icon and nothing in the captains log either

good weather as well and I watched the ship fold like a cheap pen knife all for nothing

First and last time I hope this happens

LOL Well the weather's getting no more renown off me! I'm giving it an hour in future then sinking the blighter!

Jonathan · 11-27-07, 12:03 PM

When this happened to me, the ship seemed to keep moving...I sped up time compression and it seemed to be dead in the water travelling at 1/2KM...does this mean that the ship was in fact not dead?

Also, someone told me that if the ship is in very shallow water that it physically will not sink, and that you will not get credit, even if you have put the ship on the "bottom". Do you guys believe this to be true?

Big Paul · 11-27-07, 04:27 PM

If it's only sitting on the bottom, it can be pumped out and be returned to service!
