Some like CL Naka, even if hit with three of them in the rear... will sink bow first and stand on its nose every time... We'll have to work on it as time permits. You'll also find a few vessels break in two in the middle every time, with just one torp to the bow or stern.

A sinking model is also Billy's pride and joy, what he looks forward to working on when he comes back. He's made considerable progress so far but it isn't releasable.
Wernersobe's old NSM will work but only covers a minority of ships in FOTRS Ultimate. Ships covered by NSM would sink Werner's way. Ships not in the mod? Glugglugglug down. Interestingly, one of the big selling points of FOTRS 2.0, where our ships come from, was a sinking mechanics model where ships flooded naturally and took awhile to sink. I was looking forward to that and like Rabid, was mostly disappointed.
