I had a similar issue last night on my first patrol of the career. The first enemy ship I encountered (medium old split freighter) went down with a single Mk 14. The second one, a medium old composite freighter, I hit with 2 torpedoes, both in the stern. It slowed down but kept going. I paced it for about 2 hours game time and it didn't sink, so I put a third torpedo amidships (all of these were on the port side). After the third torpedo it came to a stop, so I submerged and waiting for 9 more hours. It still didn't go down. At that point I hit it with a fourth torpedo and it went down. I was wondering if this was due to "realistic ship sinking times" or something wierd with the damage model.
