Sorry TarJak matey GWX uses thier own damage model done by Von and a few others. Newly built from the ground up.
I was working with Von beta testing it for him for GWX 1.01. I Don't mean to be a smart arse and cause offence just wanted to let you know thats all
GWX damage model uses both damage attained and flooding.
Best rule of thumb is to hit different parts of the ship to cause the most damage possible and if need be target below the waterline with your DG to finnish it off.
