This question really does not fit in the Torpedo problems thread so I'll ask here.

My question is this...How realistic and historically accurate is it to be taking out merchants and other ships with single torpedo hits?

From all the accounts I have read the single torpedo seems to be the exception rather than the rule as it is in SH3.To me the "sweet spot" is unrealistic in a sense.I highly doubt a real UBoat commander could hit a particular spot on a ship with poinpoint accuracy as they do in SH3.

Your thoughts?
