thats a common occurence for me, invincible ships speeding along despite being hit by every torp iam carrying. more annoying when they carry on at the same speed despite having no props left.

dont know if it has been pointed out already but i notice the majority of "not sinking altough 6 torps hit it" cases happen when hitting the target at the bow or astern.

This afternoon i tried to sink a merchant anchored at a jap harbour. Due to the fact it was moored in one of those little inlets i had to shoot its bow.

5 Torps (!) later i could see some sailors bring out sticks and marshmellows and they went on partying by the nice fire at the bow happily singing Dixie..... No sinking....not even a dent apart from a cosy campfire at the front mast.

And its not the first time..... God i hate marshmellows:x

I hit an Asizuki (or whatever the name is) destroyer the other day with a single torpedo; it burst into flames, came to a complete stop, and developed about a 20 degree list to starboard. I waited for it to sink, but it did not. I waited there for 13 hours under time compression, submerged, while the fire raged. At midnight, when it was still on the surface and burning, I maneuvered to the rear of the destroyer. I got about 1000 yard off his stern, facing away from him, and surfaced. Then I engaged with the deck gun.

Now, I figured after 13+ hours, either the fire would have been under control or everyone aboard would have been dead. Not so. At my third shot, a spotlight came on and his two stern turrets opened up on me. I did eventually sink him, taking one hit in the rear, but I'll never do that again.
