You right. But he was defeated by another great man of the seas Donald MacIntyre, before 1943 (the hotest times for uboats).

Ok but main post is about ship sinking times and I think that it is not so bad in SH3 + GWX. I purposely told you the story about U-99 and Elmbank to ilustrate that many things may caused that torpeded ship sunk slow or fast and I think GWX very good simulate it.
In convoy HX72 many ships sank very fast but it was exceptions and Elmbank is one of them.
