Yes, it is true that many (most?) ships needed more than a single torpedo hit to sink, but I think that the larger ships in SH3 are not quite vulnerable enough.
A look through the 'A's in the uboat.net list of victims indicates to me that a larger portion ships in the 5,000 to 8,000 ton size range went down after only one torpedo hit than what I see in the game. Tankers in the game seem especially invulnerable.
Also, 2cm flak has been used to finish off steel ships in real life, but that is not possible in SH3.
OTOH, SH3 deck gun shells seem too destructive.
