Good luck!
Unusual, I've had comfirmed kills not looking at it. As long as you remain within locality that's the ticket.
Same, though I have a had a few ships I sunk (sometimes at great expense) and didn't get credit for. Possibly due to the "respawning ship bug". But generally, I get notified by one of my crew the moment the ship starts going under, as if they have some kind of ESP. It's not too unreasonable if you're at least in the vicinity, as sinking ships tend to be fairly noisy.

As for it being silly that you don't get credit for kills you don't witness: I thought it was realistic. You get credit based on making (credible) reports of your actions. How could command possibly know what you actually sunk? It's not like they have satellite coverage of every square mile of the ocean.

Maybe it's penalising you for using decoys, which the US boats didn't have.
