This is a valid point, as I too have found ships in SH3 and GWX sink at different times. Even when I have had realistic sink times selected on game difficulty, I've hit ships with just one torpedo, and then has it sink within 2-5 minutes. This was most often in calm weather, which is just plain silly.
If this was a real life situation, even on a "small" ship, say 2000 tons, the crew would surely be able to stop any flooding and keep it afloat for more than 2-5 minutes.
I suppose I could keep on complaining, but I won't, I'll just have to put up with it.
