2-3 torpedos for a cargo ship is quite typical if you hit them in the wrong spots.

Suggestions to kill with 1 eel:

- 0.5-0.8m below the keel with magnetic detonator (unreliable in the beginning of the war and in rough weather)
- Under the funnel or slightly to the front (to hit the fuel bunker, but a hit in the engine room is often crippling as well)
- Near the stern to let the flooding do the work (the ship will tilt, then sink. Hits closer to the center will just make it lie deeper in the water if they don't hit something critical).
