Japanese LB unable to hit runaways

In my scen 19 game, my opponets seems to have trouble with his LB. For a strange reason, they can´t damage the runaway.

See what I mean:

1st example: when LB did a lot of damage

Japanese aircraft
A6M2 Zero x 75
A6M3 Zero x 43
G3M Nell x 40
G4M1 Betty x 76
Ki-46 Dinah x 5

Japanese aircraft losses
G3M Nell x 2 destroyed x 2 damaged
G4M1 Betty x 1 damaged

Allied aircraft losses

Allied ground losses:
Men lost 160

Airbase hits 20
Airbase supply hits 3
Runway hits 120 ***Put PM with 60 AS and 80 RS***

And some ten days after and since then, they can´t inflict any damage to the runaway or airbase:

Japanese aircraft
A6M2 Zero x 85
A6M3 Zero x 40
G3M Nell x 33
G4M1 Betty x 45
Ki-46 Dinah x 5

Allied aircraft
P-40E Warhawk x 3

Japanese aircraft losses
G3M Nell x 1 damaged
Ki-46 Dinah x 1 destroyed

Allied ground losses:
Men lost 12
Runway hits 1


My enemy has tried everything, attacked at high level, low level...but nothing. Also his naval bombers have tried but they didn´t score any hits. My only guess is that I have many engineers in the attacked bases. Including sea bees, but they supposely repair the airport AFTER being damaged not prevent the damage. Or Am I wrong??

Why is this happening? What´s wrong?

This is... a bug. It's been known about for some time, and supposedly fixed in WITP, but no news on when if ever a fix will be done for UV :(

I'm not sure though if it only effects the combat replays, or if the attacking planes aren't actually doing any damage at all. I do know it affects Port as well as Airbase attacks.

But... it occurs only if the attacking player has ground troops in the same hex. And as current the only way to fix it is for him withdraw the ground troops. Then the bombing should return to normal.
