I just got pwned by... myself !?

I'm new with DW but i'm a vet with other sub sims as i said in my first post. I was learning the sonar (manually instead of autocrew) tonight.. I was comparing my results with "Show Truth" just for learning. After few hours i was getting good and at some point out of nowhere came 2 torpedo (from a Victor III).

By the way i was on a quick mission set to hard and i was "driving" a 688i.

So i successfuly escaped those puppies and i was able to detect, identify and precisely locate the russian sub just when it was 2.5nm from me.. At that time i was all stop.

Now... The game is set to hard and a torpedo make's one hell of a loud noise. Each time i've sent torpedoes i was setting the nav on show truth briefly just to see the explosion but each time the torpedoes where passing few meters from the sub and nothing! So i say to myself that this must be like in the movies.. too close so the torpedoes were not activated yet so i remove the autocrew from the fire control and i launch 4 more torpedoes (after waiting forever for reloeading). This time i set the activation distance to 650 yards and active search.

I used the torpedo cam with show truth again. This time i was ready to open the champagne and celebrate! What i saw was 3 torpedoe that passed inches away from that &%/%* sub and a fourth one that went to the enemy sub, turned back and came back to papa !!

By the way: with settings set to hard (yes i know third time i say so) the russian sub never changed course, speed or depth.. He let me kill myself without doing anything. He was cruising at 5kt and i was sitting there perfectly still.. The torpedo had the choice between and evil russian moving sub 0.001 yard away or a immobile friendly US sub 1.2 yards away and he choose me ?

Is it a bug with the game? When the voice say mission cannot be completed the enemies cannot be targeted/hit ?
