No credit for sinking a Battleship?

[Elder Drake]

1st mission I was tasked with doing a patrol in sector AM with notes of a Battleship known to be in the area and an optional objective to sink 10k in trade ship tonnage. After using every torpedo I had I managed to fully sink the ship to the floor but I am not seeing credit for it in the logs, alerts, or my radio operator able to report it.

On Beta 14

They should also give you a Iron Cross like Prien also like what he sunk the HMS Royal Oak too

So I am not off here right? First time since playing I saw a battleship but I am assuming that you radio it in and it should show in your logs?

To be specific I hit her till she bellied up then snuck around the searching escort and put another spread into her to sink her and watched the ship sink and become a wreckage listing on contacts.

UPDATE: Reloading an approach attack on the Battleship I was able to report it now. I did have the radio operator clear an incoming secondary objective for the mission just before my final kill shots hit. Also on the reload the ship went from belly up to righted and dead in the water, odd.

HI,

Exactly this is also happening to me.

Warships are not counted in tonnage scores as they are not trade ships. You are not supposed to be rewarded with tonnage score for taking one out. You should be getting rewarded with reputation once docked at port iirc.

I destroyed a battleship (HMS Nelson) and don't recall getting any reputation points after I docked (other than money and more points towards medals).

As I mentioned in my post and the Update at the end, I sank the Battleship and received not a single credit for it in any form. I reloaded the save (luckily had one before I did my attack run) and sunk the ship again, this time I did get credit for it.

So it was not a matter of misunderstanding game mechanics, the game simply did not register the kill even though the ship sunk on the first go.

This bug is still occuring exactly as described by the OP.
