Not sure if a new bug (1.00.49 beta), but my first battle 4/5 Austrian ships were sunk by combination gunfire/torpedoes. The almanac lists them all like this:
Ship history for B Radetzky
January 1891 Laid down in Austria-Hungary as B Radetzky.
April 1893 Commissioned
April 1895 Took part in Battle of Sicily against Italian navy.
In action.
Sunk!. Gunfire and mines(CA Giuseppe Garibaldi, CL Minerva, CL Partenope, B Ruggiero di Lauria, CA Vettor Pisani, CA Francesco Ferruccio, B Caio Duilio, B Francesco Morosini, CA Amerigo Vespucci, B Enrico Dandolo, ).

Scored 2 main battery hits on CA Francesco Ferruccio, CA Vettor Pisani,
While I know before that sometimes torpedo hits would be listed as mine strikes due to uncertainty, certainly in earlier periods, I have never seen all the ships in the engagement that took torpedoes listed as such. One thing that might influence this (would be kinda cool) is that all the Austrian vessels were sunk along the coast, the southern coastline of Sicily to be exact.
While I don't believe I actually had any mines in that area yet (early war), the enemy would not know this. My question therefore is: Does the game make it more likely to record torpedo hits as mines if they happen near an enemy shoreline, where it would logically be more plausible (historically as well as mechanically)?
If not, is it a bug to have them all listed this way? Anyone seen this before?
