It always annoys me when the ship goes up like the Fourth of July on the first hit and then the second fish is already on the way.

In my experience with GWX most ships will go down with a single bow shot. Medium Cargoes and Granville-Style Freighters go down reliably to a single topedo ahead of the first mast. It may take an hour or two of game time, but as long as you set the depth of the torpedo to well below the waterline their whole bow will flood eventually. Even some large merchants will sink to single torpedo in the bow. Though once you get outside of the 4000-5000 ton range two torpedoes is advisable.
