Return to Nada and no credit for sinking new ships

Stinger22 · 07-11-22, 11:22 AM

Have not played SH4 for a long time but thought I would fire it up again. Never had this happen before.

On a mission to East China sea I snuck into the Nada harbor where 6 ships were docked. Took out the destroyer guarding the entry and then took my time to get positions and sank 5 of the ships, the sixth one being untargetable from outside the harbor nor could I get a long range gun hit on it.

So with my torps deplete headed back to Midway to rearm and continue my patrol. Funny thing happened there too. I hit the rearm/refuel then checked and only my reserves had been reloaded. Even though I had automatic reload checked. I had to drag a torp over to a tube and then they started loading them and I had to rearm my reserves again.

Anyway since I had not spent the 5 days in the patrol zone and thinking maybe the Japanese would have sent more ships in I traveled back to Nada. Yep there was a destroyer guarding the entry and 4 ships in port and another sitting in the northern part of harbor. Took out the destroyer and then decided to take out the rouge ship before sinking the ones in port.

Decided to use my gun and save the torp. Kept firing at it from long range getting hits and finally f12 to go take a look and it was sinking. But no announcement about it. It in fact it sank and no sunk ship icon. Checked my records and no credit for it. Noticed not credit for the destroyer either.

Reloaded save game from back when I left Midway and same thing. I read that saving within 25nm or 75nm can make it not give credit but I always save after I sink a ship or some other reason and have never not been given credit. The first attack I saved after every ship I sunk and got full credit for them.

Any ideas?
