2. Ships are harder to sink and thats both good and bad. Its good that the NYGM boats are tougher targets, but bad because now they are far too hard to down. Last night I slammed two torps into a small 3000 ton merchant, 0ne fore and one aft and it didn't even alter its stride! The ship kept going at a steady 3 kts. I pulled alongside and fired about 100+ shells into her all over, including her Stern, to try and stop her by destroying her props. The ship was a flamming wreck, but STILL going at 3 kts!!!!!!!! Eventually after many hours, she stopped and sank.
I fired four torpedoes at a large cargo (7000 tons?) too, all at four seperate points on the same side and she just didn't go down. She listed badly and stopped moving. Thats all. After 15 hours of waiting for her to sink, I gave up.
Now, I don't think a ship of such size could take such a number of blows and simply not sink at all and likewise, a small 3000 ton boat shouldn't survive the punishment that was handed it.
The problem with making the ships so hard to sink is that firing a spreaded salvo into a convoy is pointless, as one torpedo strike simply will not sink a ship, of any size it seems.

Tony,
I strongly recommend that you read both the NYGM Tonnage War User Manual which contains the NYGM Ship Damage Mod read me.
I would also strongly recommend reading the 9 pages in this thread here
http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=47519
Doenitz calculated that in 1942 from January to June,
40% of ships sunk with 1 torpedo
38% of ships sunk required two or more torpedoes
22% of ships hit with 1 to 4 torpedoes escaped
I am not saying that the NYGM Ship Damage Mod is perfect, it is however, considering everything, dam good. Again, until you have read the NYGM Ship Damage Mod Read Me you will not get the best out of this Mod.
I can sink a small/coastal merchant with 1 torpedo, sometimes I need 2. I have often sank a medium cargo with 1 torpedo.
This was part of my WaW patrol tonight...
