Hello folks, just thought I would mention this as I do not think it is an intended feature in our shiny new GWX Gold.

There I was, coming out of Kiel on my second patrol ( first one was peacetime and entirely uneventful, so I came home again) and ahead of me two, um, 'tin cans' as some of us so disparagingly call them, are coming across my bow from starboard - this is before I have turned to port to head for the bridge, with the barrage balloons on my left side. These boats used to tootle along here in previous GWX, but normally I am able to turn ahead of them and keep out of their way. Today they look a bit close, so I stop engines to allow them to pass. Fine. As the second one crosses my bow, I give the order for slow ahead expecting to pass the vessel safely astern before I change direction for the approach to the bridge. So there I am, watching the ship steam past, when suddenly, POOF! she disappears into thin air ( as they say). Not underneath the waves you understand, just vanishes before my eyes. The first vessel is still there, but moored and not still making its way to the mooring as I think it should have been.

Was it a UFO or a time-warp I ask myself, or just one of those interesting things that can happen from time to time in the best of computer games? Whatever, just thought I would mention it.....
