What really urks me is when I blow the propeller (s) off and the ship continues steaming ahead at flank speed.

I put 10 torpedoes into an ocean liner, after blowing its propellers off. It kept up with the convoy and kept on going,

Problem with both SH3 and SH4 is that you have to keep the ship sensor range in order to get the credit for its sinking if it sinks. But in order to keep up, you make noise, or have to surface far off. This does not work all that well with the eagle eyed escorts.

Sh4 seems to suffer more from the ships that can take a lickin and keep on tickin syndrome than sh3.

If a ship is reduced to damage graphics, the damn thing should sink. IMHO.
