Sunken ships not counting as sunk?

[Lol-mart Security]

I hit and sunk HMS Foresight and she went under the waves but I was never given the ability to radio in that I had sunk her.

This has happen to me quite a few times on various saves with and without mods and its really annoying when I waste two torpedoes and seemingly get no reward for it...

Your radioman is using the sonar, not the radio on the video. It's possible were you to receive a radio message whilst in this crew configuration you wouldn't get a prompt either.

I've found that you can transmit radio messages at periscope depth. I run with 2 crewman one dedicated to the sonar/radar and the other dedicated to the radio so I always have coverage, but in your case you can't do so that (yet), so once you confirm the kill, try switching him to the radio and see if you get the prompt. Just remember to switch him back to keep an eye on any reprisal from enemy escorts.

Hi,

the HMS Foresight has not sunk! You can see that from the damage report.

i think its counted only after sending radio message about the sinking.

HI,

No. The ship hasn't sunk yet. Only when it has sunk does the message for the BDu appear which can be sent.

If he has a savegame of this, he should go back. He will see that part of the ship is still on the surface.
He can sink this with the gun and then he gets his success.

World Health Organisation Authorities warn that not saving a game before battle can cause frustration!

Thanks for the explanation I was really confused by that since the deck and hall of the ship clearly aren't above water...

That's something that (in my opinion) should be patched, if a ship sinks beneath the waves it should automatically lose all health points and be sunken/foundered.

Hi,

I don't think the whole ship is underwater. Probably part of the ship hasn't sunk and is floating on the water like a cork.

As long as the damage report is not completely empty, the ship has not sunk. There are a few problems with this in the ports, but not on the open sea.
Probably the unit is just similar on the sea. The unit is not sunk.

If indeed the whole ship is under water, send a savegame to the Devs.
