I've just finished reading Memories of Johaness Spiess an U-boat commander of the I WW, and He was capable of sink 3 british battleship cruiser of 12.000 ton each in a few hours. 2 of this cruiser needed 2 torpedos but 1 was sink with just 1 torpedo. And this were battleship cruiser, I mean they were designed to resist a lot more punish that a freghter. They sink every one in less of 1 hour.

All the freighter Jonaness spiess sank needed just 1 torpedo, even though some ships required 1 or 2 shots from his canon in order to sink completely the ships.

So I think it is not realistic to need 3 torpedos to sink a tanker of 7000 t in SH5
