Is there any tip in GWX that i should follow?Should i forget about under the keel shots and go only for impact?Currently i have a large merchant.One shot under the keel midship,one impact at 4m around the engine area and it's still sailing.The only differece is a drop in speed.In stock SH3,i used to take most C3 with one shot under the keel.With 2 they were 99% condemned.

to explain this quikly
SH3 Uses a Hitpoint Damage model of the ships.
so if you hit the HOTSPOT it goes Kaboom/instant sinking
in GWX there is a different type of damage model that works with floodings
Under the Keel shot are still effective but sometimes it needs a bit more time.
also if you have a big ship , just fire a 2nd torpedo on impact against its side somewhere just to hurt the bastard real good.
