It may or may not have something to do with these hit point bars people play with, playing on realistic I have seen several ships sink over a period of time without any further interaction from me, but just as commonly ships with serious damage continued.


However, this is just as it was irl, ships really did reach home with bows and sterns completely destroyed. Perhaps some folks should go search the net for pictures of damaged ships that survived attacks, reading this thread I know a few folks are in for a surprise. My own grandfather survived two torpedo attacks, one in the Royal Navy and later in the fleet auxilliary sailing freighter decoys.

Just a couple of points,
1: aiming below the hull 2 meters is too deep try 1.

2: The Yamato could never have been sunk with only four torps, they simply could not have damaged enough compartments to cause significant flooding, it was built to withstand 27 degree listing before handling would be compromised. She even had auxiliary steering and engine rooms in the event the primaries were completely flooded. The series of attacks which sank her took over two hours, after the first hour, she had already sustained several bomb hits and four torps which caused nothing more than a 5 degree list that didn't even slow her down. She was finally destroyed by a magazine explosion after fire alarms failed to notify the crew it was on fire, once they realised, it was too late, the main pump for that section had been destroyed and they couldn't get an auxiliary set up there in time.
