Yeah I think the ship damage is a little too simplistic as is right now. Many merchants seem to absorb two torpedoes without much effect, and then suddenly explode and sink like a stone when the rest of the hitpoints are taken (by further torpedoes or shelling). Flooding does not seem to have a significant effect on ship damage - ie. it is rare that you can just sit back and let a ship flood itself to the bottom.
