Default The... Yellow... Triangle!?

The following image is completelly unedited.
It occured right when a torpedo went off on a medium cargo.
Being an eye-candy maniac i paused the game exactly on the "boom"
and i saw this when i surfaced the camera...
(Unfortunatelly i only have one image available because when i alt-tabbed to save the captured image (used print screen) it dissappeared.)

Additional info: Since i play on 71% (84% when external view and that little window is disabled) the triangle showing me the angle of the shot is either green, yellow or red. At the given time it was yellow.

maybe we should test this out... launch some torpedoes and pause at the moment of impact and see what we get?

Are you using an atmosphere mod (ie. OLCE, etc.) on top of GWX?

16km distance only. Which is included to the JSGME.
If someone wants to test this out, ill give you all the info i can.
I was in 1000+ depth. Near the east coast of America, west of Norfolk.
Spotted the Medium Cargo and fired a TII amidships while the triangle in the periscope was yellow. Then i went to free camera to please my eye with the explosion, followed the torpedo underwater till it detonated and at the milisecond it detonated i paused.
Thats all.

Could it be one of the many 'Easter Eggs'?

If you let your deck gun crew fire automatically, and then watch the target in binoculars, you see a triangle at the center of the target, near the waterline. Its smaller than the one shown of course but I think its also yellow.
