Naval torpedo hits reported as machine guns hit in the A2A animations.

I am adding my turn where my CASA-V. Vildebeest squadron next to Almeria had a great day using their torpedoes. If you run the turn and watch the A2A animations you hear the noise when the planes launch torps and see the explosions, but the A2A animation report them as 7.7mm hits.. ( or at least no “torp hit” reported, the 7.7mm could have hit too).

So the torpedo planes are not "strafing" the target in an attempt to lower the enemy's AAA response?

Now i am not sure if the torpedo hits arent showed in the A2A animations text or they are simple treated as 7,7mm hits. I have had next turns animations with the sound of the torps been fired, huuuuuuuge explosions covering all ship and messages "XX direct hit to engine room" or whatever it is. I have 3 of those on nacional ship Zalla last turn and if i go check the nacional turn the ship Zalla is damaged only a bit. And operations report said Zalla has been hit 3 times!, and i think those 3 where torp planes attacks.

I have tried using commander's choice on the weapon load as well as bombs but only the machine guns hit. But then there was this one when I move a torpedo bomber unit so I could hopefully torpedo a battleship . . .
