Problem: Abandoned tanks becoming destroyed without any reason...how?

[Taskforce]

During Battle 1 of my new AAR series I not only managed to force a Soviet' T-34/76E M1942 crew to surrender, thus capturing the tank, before that a KV-1 M1942 and a T-34/76 M1943 were abandoned by their crews and should have been left that way, since my infantry continued to push forward and stopped any possibility for the crews to re-claim their tanks.

Still I "only" ended up with the T-34/76E M1942 tank as not destroyed and saw the abandoned tanks going from abandoned to destroyed, including the fire ontop of the turret.

How is that possible? It has never happened to me before, not even during my "Final push for Berlin" AAR.

I'm still going to include the other two as captured, of cause, but still...how was this even possible?

During the same battle the crew name and registered tank kills of my first StuG III, knocked out, were changed to something else and the 3 kills becoming 0 kills.

How were these things even possible? I've never encountered this kind of problem before.

When I re-installed the game after the strange virus I followed the correct patch order, so that shouldn't be a cause either.

Cheers, Taskforce

Wrecks are destroyed if the other side occupies the same hex for 1 turn.

Abandoned tanks (that still have a surviving crew) or other crewed elements are converted to destroyed if that side loses the game, ie it is not a draw, at the end game.

Your knocked out Stug - if the crew is destroyed then naturally a brand new crew and leader was assigned from the training depot, with no kills accumulated for them as yet.

Taskforce,are you trying to rescue your tank crews(ie; get them safely to the rear by some type of transport)?...or are they left to thier own demise.
It could be they were eliminated by some hmg fire as the AI loves to target them or by arty.
I never had this problem with crews that got out intact myself, but always use smoke for crews if possible (esp.the vets) and get them out harms way ASAP preferably via an HT.
As Andy explians if a unit occupies the same hex for turn of abandoned afv, it's gone.
