A couple of times now I have had a PBY night attack on Jap shipping but the first ship that gets attacked is some random allied ship or sub that is no where near the area. Anyone else seen this or has it been reported?
Also is there a list of reported bugs somewhere so I dont echo something that has been reported already.

A made a post and send a save about my japanese night fighter attacking (at night) one of my japanese submarine (already officially sink) before attacking US ships. Didn't have any news about it. (Mariannas scénario. new game against computer. 1.21)

I've seen this happen as well, but assumed that it was a design feature. Trying to differentiate friend from enemy was a constant problem throughout the war, especially in night actions. Nowadays they call it "friendly fire".

Honestly? I WOULD consider this a game feature had I seen it already... Which I haven't... Be curious to see if anything comes of it, but I suspect its NOT a bug... Just have to see.
