I think the problem is related to the splash damage of the torps damaging multiple zones with a single hit. If a single torp hits near the zone boundaries and then floods 2 compartments(zones), the ship will almost always sink because this mod increased the flotability factor of each compartment(zone) by a large amount. Seems that a torp damaging only a single compartment(zone) is the exception and not the norm.
So...
I modified downward the flotability factor of the zones closer to the original settings and ships do not seem to sink as easy now. The long sink times with flooding effect graphics and the manner in which the ships roll over during sinking is intact though.
Still work in progress, needs more stick time on this. Can't decrease the flotability too much other wise the ships will be- very hard to sink since the torp power is cut in half. May need to reduce the torp splash damage instead of reducing zone flotablity anymore.

Glad someone is addressing this, great mod which I wont play without bc it is more realistic, I once had a tanker stay afloat two days(pursued rest of convoy until out of fish, never got a ship sunk message so came back to scene of attack nearly 48 hours later,10k ton tanker was afloat, listing hard but afloat, gave her the coup de grace and slipped under.
Large warships like BB's do sink too easily with this mod most of the time.SKill level seems to have an effect also, those set to vet and elite dont seem to go as easy, esp if only one torpedo unless in critical area.
One trade off I appreciate is not every battleships was tough to sink with torpedoes.Pretty much all of them went down to 3 or 4 fish other than the Yamato, there may be other examples but thinking about Prince of Wales, pearl harbor ships the went down to torpedo hits, 3 or 4(although they were surprised Fuso class at Surigao Strait, HMS Barham in the Med etc etc.Flaw is, one fish should not sink a BB though.Quite the balancing act.
