hmmm.......normally you should think that boat would be ripped apart after max. 5 Hits.
Same applies to a torpedo-hit on a small merchant, it normally should blow their keels away and they should go down in few minutes. (Take a look at that WWI-Video postet in the SH3 Main Forum to know what I mean). C2 and above may sink slower and sometimes take hours before being below waterline. |
I took out a fishing boat with the flak gun on a Type IIA. Used over 800 rounds to do it though, the majority of it in the stern. Maybe I'm wrong, but that does not seem realistic to me. Last night I came across a small merchant. I had 2 torps left in my IID. I set both of them for 4m depth and put 1 in each side. Then I surfaced and put 1200 rounds from the flak in her, the majority of which I attempted to put in the hull at the water line. Not an easy task with the boat pitching and swells getting in the way. Once the flak gun was empty I stepped up the tc and circled her for over 24 hours, but she just bobbed about in the water like a cork. Two other merchants arrived on the scene during that time and when a destroyer appeared I finally gave up and returned to port.
