Minutes or hours, it totally depends on the damage sustained.

For example, I have hit a Pyro and it has either exploded straight away and then sink after a few minutes or has sustained damage and sunk after an hour from flooding.

Whereas a BB (ie the Rodney) may take a few hours to sink from flooding.

The genius of the new damage model in GWX is that there is now a large amount of uncertainty as to whether your target is going to sink.

Totally Cool
