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

are you playing a single mission, war patrol, or a career?
check your difficulty level.
