Aslo, whether or not a ship explodes is not really based on what it is carrying but on whether or not you score a critical hit. This can still happen in GW. I think I did read somewhere though that the game only reconizes a hull shot when determining a critical hit and not an under keel shot. THis is not caused by GW.

I believe critical hits via keel shots are still functional. I sank another Large Cargo with a keel shot under the bridge and broke it in half. I also sank a Nelson with a keel shot under the turrets and instantly got the "She's going down..." message.

Fired three impact 5m depth eels at BB Rodney moured at Lock Ewe. One right under the B turret, one under the superstructure and one at the stern. All hit. No fire no listing. :hmm:
Fired 2 keel shots to a C2 at the harbour, both amidships. She started taking water at the stern, bow started coming up. Water was too shallow so her stern almost touched the bottom. Didnt sink for 2,5 hours. Even shot a few HE shells. She kept on a smiling.
Finally 1 keel shot to take out a 7k ton Transport. Again too shallow so she's ablaze half of her at afloat, sitting at the bottom, still burning when i was leaving 2,5 hours later.
Again 2 impact torps to a Medium Cargo moured at the harbour. Sinking but again too shallow, no points..
As you can see, in GW, the ships dont blow up easily (do they ever?) , they start flooding, and it takes so much time for them to sink if its not too shallow, then they dont sink (maybe i shouldve sticked around more....) And deck gunning them doesnt help much, load times are huge and hits are far less efective.
I ended up dashing out of the harbour on the surface, frustrated and being gunned down by Rodney.. Still was a blast but i would've loved to see them sink in style.
