Newbie on deck :-) So apologies if you've heard it a hundred times before...
An probably won't be the last question I ask either...

I'm playing SH3 with GWX 3.0 and most of the realism options on (no manual targeting yet...I'm at 84%) so I don't learn any bad habits...

I'm training myself up by playing the convoy attack and torpedo training missions...

One thing I'm struggling with is the number of hits I need to obtain to sink a ship...
Medium Cargo for example normally takes 3 fish...a Small Tanker 2 or 3...

I'm going for under the keel hits at draught + 0.5M in calm seas and hitting under the smoke stacks...

Is it right that I need multiple hits...or is there something I should be doing to break the backs of these merchants?

Many Thanks!
