Flying Dutchmen??

Hey all!

I started my Asiatic fleet career with S-18 class submarine, it's pretty tough as it lacks the aft torpedo tubes and is pretty slow, anyway everything went well at my first patrol but I faced one weird thing, perhaps a bug.

I had a Akizuki destroyer doing a circle around me as I had escaped from it's route, I was pretty sure that it's deader than elvis as soon as I get it in my aim. Usually at the moment they are circling around me they are doomed, it's not a big deal to hit them when they're close and unable to do anything. Well, I shot my first torpedo, depth at 3,5 meters. It usually sinks them with first hit. This time it went under the ship. Well, I shoot another at the default depth (2,5 meters or something), STILL under the destroyer. Well, I have 4 tubes and as I'm playing with quite arcade feeling I didn't worry about it and shot another at 1,5 meter depth and it went under it again

Finally I managed to hit it when I shot the torpedo at the smallest possible depth but then, when it hit it was like I would have shot it normally at that depth, it created a hole into the ship but it was so high that it didn't cause almost any damage.

I met 2 of these kind of ships at my patrol. Otherwise the patrol went (at least in my opinion) better than I expected, I sank 9 ships, 5 Akizukis and 4 merchants (2 or 3 of the merchants were sank with deck gun after I ran out of torpedos). Total tonnage was something like 28900 tons.

BTW, is that good or bad amount and has anyone else met these hovering ships?
