Ok, I must be doing something wrong. As I type this in another window I have a M23b dead in the water 1000m in front of my Type IID (5th patrol, still alive 13,000 ton total, my IID has all optional equipment available) I hit it with 1 torpedo right between the bridge and the funnel, dead in the water, practiced with my flak gun on the cargo for a bit, nice explosions. time for coup de grace. torpedo, magnetic settings set for 8 meters. same placement. KABOOMMMMM. the smoke clears and the M23b is still floating. so i read what the senior captains have said, i wait a bit for damage to make it sink........Nope, what is this thing hauling? Cork? Or. I only have 5 torpedoes in my Type IID. So number 3 goes from 900m. Fast, Magnetic, 9 meters. Big KABOOOMMMM and the smoke clears and it is still afloat. So, I am catching my breath and getting rid of frustration as I type this.
I am playing the Vanilla SH3 with the Merchant Mod, but other than that the mechanics are what came out of the box. I don't know what i am doing wrong, but I am using a lot of torpedoes to kill ships that I seem to remember didn't take this much when I used to play.
Well enough of my rant, I feel relaxed again, what the hell, a 4th torpedo should do it. All for 5300 tons.
