If you see any hint of fireworks, it is probably a bad shot.

Yeah, when I say an at-the-waterline shot, that's what I mean. I saw the shell hit the water first and then explode against the hull.

If you are playing stock, not GWX, you have some leeway. The stock shells are waaay overpowered and the hitpoints are not as realistic.

I'm playing not stock but GWX.

Holds traverse the ships. If a ship has five holds A B C D E, and you put a fish deep into C, you have flooded C across the beam. Going around the other side and poking more holes into C won't help.

I disagree because there are many times I show up 2 hours after impact to see the ship listing badly to port, but it hasn't sunk yet. That surely cannot be because of a hold flooded all the way through. The port side must be heavily filling with water whereas the starboard side is holding it up.
