Target still locked at 22km?

Hmm thought i could share this "bug or glitch or default..........." with some captain
Using 16km OLC, at the beginning i spot one bb and one bc. My officer couldnt recommend a target because it was out of range. But when they reached my sight i immediatly order my crew to lock taget. As they come closer, i thought they would detect me and shoot some big shell on my ship. I immediatly try to flee. Success now im 20k away from them ( detecting signal radar helped me to find the range).
Now the weird thing is........

my cannons are still in the direction of the ennemy and keep shooting them. Now at 22km i checked the map and draw a ruler over the radar signal.

Unbelievable, my gun still lock the target over that range.
So does any of you have met this weird problem in stock or 16km?
Isnt the locked range supposed to be taken when you are outranged?

I think that's at least based on a stock bug. I've sometimes been able to pick out targets 20-30km away for a brief second. Never seen my deck crews firing at them though, but tracking sure. Usually it's been with a ship/convoy I'd spotted at some point before I think.

Yep, it's a stock bug.

You can also lock the target in your periscope for 1-3 seconds, even though it is well outside visual range of the periscope.

Oy Ty for the info.

Dont blame me to resurrect this but i think why my gunner are still firing at them!

I noticed when i detect a signal radar you can still order your crew to fire without stopping.
But when you dont have a signal radar contact..... forget it.
