I just started playing around in the GWX academy convoy training and I came across 2 things that I have questions about.

1. When I am in my u-boat at the "F2" view and I look at the chief or the planesmen I get 90+ frames per second but when I rotate around to look at my nav or aft in the control room my FPS drops to 30. Also...when I am in the "F9" room (radio and sonar) my FPS is around 30 but when I look another direction it jumps to 90 or so. In freeroam camera inside the boat some directions that I look in I get over 100 FPS and others I get only 25 or so. I am not using any antialaising but I am using 16X aniscopic but I dont think that that is the reason. I am really baffeled why I get such a framerate drop when I simply look in cartain directions even though nothing more significantly is drawn.

It seems NOT to be related to where the ships are.

2. In the same convoy training I put a torpedo under the keel of a tramp steamer and I was shocked to see it not sink. It just continued on with its aft end low in the water. Later...after the trawler sunk the DD for me

I left the trawler in my dust and caught up to the pack and started an experiment with the other two undamaged tramps in the convoy. I put a torpedo in eack at 4 meters depth and although both were hit neither one sank.

In the convoy training missions are these things loaded with cork or wood or something because although I am a fan of not always sinking these guys with 1 torpedo I do believe that this is a little unrealistic. Do the tramp steamers in the campaign act the same way?
