TMO 2.5 RSRD USS Baya-Balao Class

Finished a 60+ day patrol...December 44- March 45. Tore up convoys along the China Coast north of Formosa.Sank 3 Japanese submarines off Luzon(as USS Batfish did in Feb 45) and supported the landing of Iwo Jima. Headed for Pearl with 52,000 tons down.Anyone who has patroled the shallow China Coast in 45 knows it's tough. This patrol was great given my first patrol nearly ended in disaster after I crippled an Ise BB in Area 9, but her escorts left my boat in shambles with depth charges, forcing me to go home and not able to sink the BB due to all torpedo tubes having been destroyed.

Anyways, after I made it home, I was shocked to see I only was credited with 6,500 tons, for the 3 submarines! I nearly tossed the keyboard lol.

I completed the patrol last night, saved en route to Pearl.Loaded it up this morning to finish transit before I head out for the day.I suppose it's the feeling some had when they KNEW they sunk ships but command denied them credit of JANAC erroneously took their kills away post war.

Anyone else encountered this bug after saving and reloading?

maybe that's the tonnage the subs are listed as?

have you checked the files for those subs to see?

I dont think it has anything to do with subs, as this happened in 43 before also when did not sink a sub.Ill check though. All 3 subs together came out to 6,500 tons, so it said.

I've run into it before. Sink some tonnage, and it even shows up in the log book.

Get back to port, and it's ignored.

Could it have something to do with the length of your patrol? Perhaps, the counter resets for some reason.

Possible but I just finished a patrol up last night in my other career out of Brisbane in May/June 1943.I sank a ship from a convoy, after evading the pesky escorts at 350 feet for a while and once clear, , i stepped out while was doing the end around.Power shut off for a sec, forcing me to reload my last save, which was after the sinking.Showed credit in the log, but convoy respawned with the the ship i just sunk it in it.Never had that happen.I went on to sink it and another, having five ships down when I headed for Brisbane due to low fuel and being out of torpedoes after 41 days on patrol.Arrived in Brisbane after 54 days at sea.Once in port, only had credit for four ships,

Something to do with reloading a game, it sucks, used to never had this bug.
