In standard SH3 if you hit the targets keel on autotargeting (5m - 7m depth) would be an instant kill.
Well, despite "GW think-tankers" mentioning that GW the things changed... well yes! They changed quite a bit!
But from what I noticed (as player) I have to say that still exist few weak spots even in GW ships even with new flood-system.
But its a kind of a random hit-kill (I mean sometimes works others don't).
For a instant kill in GW you might need to spend from 1 to 2 torps
Always aim the torp to few meters infront of their command bridge. (few meters in front of the automatic targeting). Remember to set the torps depth to hit the targets keel.
Medium/Large cargos 5/6m, All tankers 2m. Liners also can go in 1 or two torps but I havent noticed the weak spot yet.
If it doesn't pin-down on 1st torp.
Fire a 2nd one few meters in front of the 1st shot.
If that didn't work then fire a 3rd to its rear... so wouldn't be hit-kill but would be flooded-kill as intended by GW.
Other option that I used in GW to save torps is ... disable the propulsion (screws) or engines room... surface the sub and gank with Deck gun (aiming 1st their own deck guns - if they have any) followed by the water-line of ship's front (since its rear has one torp in it - which might be or not sufice)
