Torpedo missed???? Possible bug??

Running patched vanilla..

Started Patrol 23 last night & all was going well.. Sank a few ships in crummy weather and was constantly forced to crash dive since my watch team (Qualified and solid green bar) could not spot planes until we were getting strafed

Dang Bernard!!

Picked up 2 contacts in a line. One C3 and a Small merchant. Plotted my approach and got in a solid position for a beam shot at 500 meters.. Let loose an eel set for 10 meters and fast.. 20 second run time and the action camera showed it going underneath the keel and explode. The periscope showed the explosion and the ship rearing & settling.. Sonarman announced "Torpedo missed" and sure enough, C3 hasn't slowed down. Adjusted my angle and sent another eel, this time set for 3.5 meters and impact.. It hit with another tremendous explosion followed by another missed report from my sonarman (Qualified and solid green bar).. This went on for 2 more torpedoes. Both Steam & electric.. C3 never showed damage or slowed down.. I shot one fish into the small merchant & even though I got another "Torpedo missed" report, she still went down & I got that credit.. Anyone know what's up with that C3?? I just saved and exited the patrol at that point.. I searched for a possible thread, but couldn't find an answer..

Thanks..
