A suprisingly easy patrol!

[GWX 2.1]
1941, November 23rd, i was patrolling the Atlantic and i received a radio report of a convoy: 7 knots, time: 10:00, direction: EES. I promptly engaged and planned an interception course. Here is where it gets easy (or maybe i just made it easy on myself for careful planning, you be the judge). I sitted still at periscope depth and the head defender, a frigate missed detection dispite traveling in my direction and passing a couple hundred meters port.
Once i heard it was a bit further (over 2km maybe) I had an opening and without ever moving (no positive boyance noted, the submarine kept very stable all the time) i opened fire on the convoy at will. Even so the remaining escorts couldn't figure out my position until i full flanked from my halted position. Diving to 180 meters removed the annoyance in a split second. I sank 3 ship from that convoy and lighted one up severely! Note this was 23rd November, aprox 10:00 hours.

I was returning home that same day and again a radio report reported a convoy that was too hard to resist engaging, time 19:42. I began a interception course. Again i was all too easy to intercept the convoy and this time the head ship didn't even detected me (i was 1500 meters away tough). Once i had visual i was shocked to see that same ship i light up still on fire! It was the same convoy! The fire certainly was burning for 9:45 plus hours! That's one tough ship but 9:45 hours on fire, while keeping up with the convoy seems a little too tough.

My question is: where did i mess up GWX installation? I remember GWX to be very hard! Could this be all luck? About the fire there's nothing GWX can do without the source code

I think it's hard coded, fires don't cause damage, only flooding can hurt, am i right?

Thanks for reading my cries!
