What is up with those troop transports?!? Do they not have floodzones? I have yet to sink one since installing GW.

In casablanca, there were 2 side by side. I put 4 fish into one and 5 fish...5!!....into the other and they werent even decks awash, slightly listing. Targeted bow to stern and at least another 5-10 feet worth of sinking space and they wouldnt go down.

Same thing in a convoy a few days later....1000 meter depths so no "harbor excuse". 2 fish, one slightly ahead of center and one slightly behind, 5 m down, a magnetic under the tail (only blew off one propeller and she kept steaming at 8 knots on a single prop) and one more near the front, 3 m down at perfect 90 degrees. Still floating!

They need to soften these troop transports up a bit. These things are over armored!

Where do you guys aim to make these things sink?

offtopic...but does anyone know what real world ship the troopship is modelled after?
