Torpex is a certain proportion of aluminum, which is liquefied by the spark and then separately reacted with water, it makes the explosion nearly 5x as much ... just as an example, a USS Texas would be one (maybe two) Kiel shot been a German submarine probably sunk.
Only times to note - for the same reason both towers of the World Trade Center collapsed in 09/11 ... liquid aluminum and water.

Good info here!
However, it's not the torpedo damage that so many people are complaining.
It's the way ships sink.
For example, a Maya heavy cruiser, 15000 ton (full) displacement warship, with hundreds of watertight compartments, damage control parties and 1000 crew, sinks in less than a minute. I've seen battleships sink faster than this.
A well placed torpedo hit would indeed do grave damage to her, but she'll not go down under a minute no matter where it hit her.
And beside all this, you get the message "Ship destroyed", before your second torpedo launched 2 seconds later, explodes on her.
That's an immersion killer, if you ask me.
