Just a recent experience, no bug implied. So I finally realized that Nippon Maru and Nihon Kaigun were badly applied and weren't working, fixed that and restarted a campaign. S-boat in the Aleutians, first patrol. While transiting to the assigned area (quite far from the islands, by the way), I decide to check a contact report that was, strangely, regularly applied. It tyrned to ba a B-type Japanese submarine. I torpedoed the thing from a point-blank range, sticking to the historical practice of launching a full volley on a submarine. I fully expected some of my torpedoes to miss but the target actually ate all four fish. Now, as far as I know, no ww2 sub was able to survive a torpedo hit and four of them should blow the target to smithereens. This sub certainly sank, but very slowly. I got the log entry and the credit at the end of the patrol but no sinking mark appeared on the map.
Still, quite an exciting start! Too bad the next patrol was entirely in empty seas.
