minor bug while sinking sub
Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2023 6:41 pm
Hi
just had a strange encounter. An allied submarine was next to the harbor of Tunis and visible. My new Italian marine bomber launched its first attack but the sub could dive away. A ship went down to search for it and then back again leaving only one possible hex where the sub may be. Then the bomber made its second sortie. Actually it was a "recon" flight since the sub was not visible at this point.
Then it was a bit too fast for me to tell details. There were no enemy fighters intercepting but a text appeared over my bomber. I did not expect that and could not read it. The text disappeared quickly. But my best guess is that it was a national morale bonus for sinking the submarine. It had only str 2 when it was visible so that is possible to sink it with a good attack.
I saw no submarine icon, I saw no destruction. I will ask my pbem opponent if that sub was really sunk and what I forgot but can do next turn: I will check the losses report and the properties of the bomber if it got the credits.
But to me it seems as if I sunk a sub that was not visible and it did NOT appear when I was attacking/recon that hex where I thought it might be. I guess that is not intended. When going there the sub should appear on my display showing me a battle result (losing no str or one or two or something).
Just to let you know...
