When I did the sweep I heard a torpedo to the west. I tracked it past me to the north and off to the east. I came to radar depth and the torpedo sound coralated with the aeroplane on radar. A little later an aeroplane came in from the east heading west and the same thing happened, I could hear the aeroplane on the hydrophones and it sounded like a torpedo. Has anyone had this before?

That does sound like a bug. However, I wonder if I saw something similar with ships?
A while back I stumbled upon a cluster of warships at anchorage off Dublon. One of them soaked up a ridiculous amount of torps yet wouldn't sink. I wanted to inspect the hull so I took my boat very close to the group while submerged.
Of course, when I raised my periscope to have a look around all the escorts started shooting at me, since I was maybe 100 yards away.
What was really astonishing was when I saw a torpedo zoom by!
WW2 destroyers did in fact carry torpedoes and launch them at each other, so it makes sense they'd fire one at a very close, persistent sub. I've just never seen a SH4 destroyer try to sink me with one before!
