GWX 2.1 : Self-exploding ships without known assailant?

Drakken · 09-05-08, 12:52 PM

In my current Black Sea patrol in WaW3 using GWX 2.1, I have encountered three unescorted merchant ships heading for Tuapse as a single column. As I was submerged and preparing my data solution, however, I heard a boom and the "We've hit it" Das Boot soundbite indicating a hit... and I hadn't fired a single torpedo yet.

I went to periscope to check, and indeed the last ship in the column was in flames, the other two maintaining their speed and course. I completed the interception and I could claim the other two ships as sunk, but not the third one.

Is it a bug? Could they have been attacked by a plane or, even rarer, another submarine?
