Was there a limit - ships that small that no captain would waste his torpedo to sink them?
All these questions come when I try to make my gameplay more real... But every hour spent playing I realize that my knowledge is so tiny, and will never grow up much, that it's never going to be any real at all...

Usually U-Boat captains were firing salvos to compencate for inacuracies in the solution and the changes of the ship's course. Usually big ships took a couple of torpedoes to go down and smaller ones only one or even a few rounds from the deck gun. In the book 'Iron Coffins' they talk about 1-2 torpedoes per target depending on how big it was. Usually the salvo was between 2-4 torpedoes depending on the distance from the target and the target's speed. Generaly speaking though GWX has a quite ballanced damage model.
