AI U-Boats

This subject has come up before BUT I am amazed ... in heavy seas I came upon a striken cargo vessel whose bow was eating the seas ... hmmm, usually a sign of a breached hull taking on water. As I got closer flames broke out and she sunk .. ok, must have been hit by another U-Boat and it was a immersion thing as I thought AI U-boats do not fire torpedoes .. so I thought.

I continued on my course and darn if I come across another U-Boat and I investigate. Cool. She was heading into the Gibraltor zone as I headed up the coast back to my base ...

So! Do AI subs actually engage? The year is late 1942. Never seen anything like this so far - have seen striken ships but always figured other reasons like collisions, or plain immersion ...
