Default Sinking mechanics on Liners (realistic or too tough)?

Yesterday i had an encounter with Large European Liner on my patrol. Put 3 torps in her (bow to medium) at first, and waited a bit to see what happens. The frontal part went almost aligned with sea level.

Then i put another one in the stern for good measure (same side), and went around for a second spread. The interesting stuff is that in spite of 4 big holes on the same side, she did not list, but went evenly to sea level. Also i was suprised that in spite of the last shot that should have blown her propellers, she was happily continuing at 2 kts .

I fired a second salvo of torps (4 in total) to the other side and evenly spread, and was insanely lucky (only 1 dud), she still refuses to go down. She is almost completely leveled with sea but still making 2 kts :hmm:.

Now my questions are:

1. How much time does it take for a liner with 8 holes to sink with RFb 1.52(anyone had similar experiences)?

2. Is it possible that the sinking mech mod has affected the "indestructability" of the props ?

3. How many torps did it take you guys to take down a liner ?

Otherwise, with other ships sinking mod works like a charm

*EDIT: Fired 2 more fish at her, and finally down she went
