Re-to tankers... Oil is lighter than water.
Re-to DD's... DD's are meant to go fast, carry light gunnery, and drop DC's... they are not battleships.
Re-to Liners... big ships with many watertight compartments.
Other thoughts: Damage inflicted by the torpedo is NOT consistant... It is random.
Sinking times and successful torpedo detonations versus sinkings ARE historically accurate in GWX. Read Clay Blair's "Hitler's U-boat War" books and it will not take you long to come to the same understanding when you look at events in GWX as a whole.
Scapa Flow: No offense to the poster, but I can tell you this... If you have no trouble getting in and out of Scapa Flow... you aren't playing at 100 percent realism. (Which is fine... seriously... to each player his own style.) If you want to impress me... embrace you fear and go there after 1941... at 100% realism and THEN tell me of your harrowing escape... or death.
