I was out on patrol and exhausted all my torpedos and all my deck gun rounds (had 4 ships burning, followed them for over 2 hours hoping to see them sink - they kept burning but none sank). Finally decided I'd better report-in to BDU and return to base for more ammo. In SH3 if I sent in a patrol status report with no ammo like this, BDU would congratulate me and tell me to come in. But not in SH5. I was told to stay on station (without any weapons?). I decided BDU's message must have been garbled in transmission and headed back to base anyway. When I got there I learned I'd sunk 3 ships (apparently 3 of the 4 burning ships eventually sank?).
