Hey everyone. I was attacking a convoy. However, I did not realise the water was extremely shallow, about 17 meters under keel. I torpedoed my targets then got out of there. I could only dive to periscope depth and destroyers started dropping depth charges. These, even though exploding next to me, didn't do any damage? Also, as the destroyers passed over me, they hit my conning tower, which did not do any damage, except to my deck gun and AA guns, but made them explode.

I thus decimated the entire escort just by standing still. I then surfaced my boat to engage some of the merchants with my deck gun. Their ships were armed and hit me several times however this didn't do any damage either.

Is this normal? Are these know bugs?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I am playing vanilla, no mods installed
