Broken fog problem with IuB/GW 16km range??

I've seen these threads too but had not encountered any ships in fog on my first patrol with GW so I couldn't see what they were talking about. I finally ran across some last night - shadowed two freighters in the densest fog/lowest visibility for several hours of game time, stopping for sound checks every 30-45 miniutes or so to see how things were going - finally pulled off a perfect intercept as they came sliding out of the fog/mist at about 400m, dead in my sights. Unfortunately, it was a pair of Brazilian ships (a coastal and a light tanker), and it was only July 1941, so I had to let them sail on back into the mist and disappear.

Frustrating encounter from a tonnage perspective, but good training for the newest members of my crew and very cool looking from the bridge - so, for me at least, the fog seems to be working just fine with Sh3 Commander and Grey Wolves (using the "16km dark" version).
