I have to say, im dumbfounded by the comments that ships are taking too long to sink, or using too many torpedo's.

Call me old school if you want, but i thought getting away from 1 hit wonders all the time was the general goal. In SH3 and SH4, people busted their asses to get ships to sink more realistically, and/or require more torpedo's to put down. (IE elimnation of 1 hit wonder torpedos).And from the sounds of things, SH5 is modeling ship damage much better out of the box then the previous two games. So i don't quite understand the complaints.

Truthfully, every time i see someone use or want more powerful torpedo's, a frown comes to my face, and im reminded of when i was a newbie playing SH3 before all the supermods. I sat there trying my damndest to hit ships in their critical location to get the big boom and be the utmost efficient with my torpedos. Yeah, i sat there reloading the game until i got the hit i wanted with autoTDC enabled, using the rec manual to target critical compartments (stock game allowed you to do that. Nobody probably remembers this). Total and complete noobville. More powerful torpedo's indeed.
