Variability was reality. Why would you think a CV with a fixed DM would always be harder to sink than a BB, BTW? Many CVs sank with 1 fish, usually due to uncontrolled fires.

As for the non-Shokakus taking many, I capsize them and they sink with virtually any single hit other than the extreme bow/stern. Any hit. Actually, IMO the hardest to sink I think is Taiyo (from back when I was testing her).

The goal for any such DM mod should be as much variability as possible since in RL, some ships took quite a bit of damage and survived. Shinano, in fact, could very well have survived. So if a given clas never sunk to one hit, but other classes (similar) did, then it seems reasonable that it should be possible for a 1-hit sinking. If the average was 3, then so be it.

I guess I'm totally against pulling chances out of thin air, they must be calibrated to something, and RL is it.
