Default Sinking Battleships with GWX

I got back to playing SH3 and started a new career. This may be the most addicting subsim ever with SH4 up there as well. So on my 3rd patrol in a Type II, I run across a massive convoy with a Revenge Class battleship in the center. I lucked out and found a gap and fired all three remaining torpedoes in a spread from 3km out. Depth was set to about 10m as I wanted it to hit well below the waterline and didn't know what would be best. I dropped the scope and somehow all three hit. Looking again it was completely engulfed in flames and listing. I tried to shadow the convoy, but since it was daylight they spotted me when I surfaced (stupid, stupid). Water depth was only about 70m, so I got down to the bottom and managed to eventually shake 2 destroyers. The battleship sailed away. Bummer. I think its time to upgrade.
