Today I come across one of these tramp steamers around 2400 tons.
It's night and calm weather, so I order to man the deck gun. When I am about 1500m I order to aim for the waterline.
First shot is off as often, the two next ones hit... My navigator says she's going down
Have a look with the binos, she breaks in two in the middle and sinks. Saw no big explosion, just the two halves sinking.
Who said the NYGM damage model needed hours of flooding ?
Anyway double schnaps for the gunners.
