I tested it. I nailed the deck it was on with HE rounds but it still didn't go out. It seems to me that if an HE round hit even close by in real life everything with in a certain radius would be destroyed. So you would not necessarily need a direct hit. Can you lower the levels a bit more?

Armor Level=-1 to -3 for WeaponsHeavy
Armor Level=5 to 3 or 2 for WeaponsLight.

This might help simulate hitting close by with the heavy weapons to destroy it. And killing the crew with the light weapons. If that's possible for either weapon. But on the other hand it might possibly make sinking a ship too easy. Not sure if there would be a happy medium.

Also I see in SH5 the searchlights don't move like they did in SH3. They've got you in their light as soon as they come on, where in SH3 they moved around looking for you as it would be in real life. Is there a reason for this in SH5?
