Wanted to know if waiting around and watching the ship will eventually get me a confirmed kill.
In Hsie ini file, you can adjust the torpedo failure percentage rate to your liking.
Five bad torpedoes is really no chance!
What I do is prefer the T1 torpedo set to impact at 5 meters… it’s the more reliable way to get kills early war, for any ship any weather

Don’t think fire will sink any ship in NYGM. Would be too easy to start fire and just wait for damage until sinking
Type II AA Gun can sink only fishing boats and the like, no cargoes
