Be that as it may for the two of you, I have to agree with Wulfmann.

I hit one of those ASW trawlers directly amidships with a torp, blasting a great hole in her and leaving the ship dead in the water on fire from stem to stern, yet it still took nearly 50 hits from my deck gun before the ASW Trawler blew in half.

And she STILL didn't sink. Both halves just sat there burning and smoking, drawing the attention of an enemy bomber on patrol. I submerged, waited for the bomber to pass, surfaced again, and fired a dozen more shots as well as strafing the hull with the flak gun.

Yep, you guessed it...STILL ALFOAT.

Even a destroyer will usually go down after a single torpedo hit!

They've never been able to take this much punishment before in GWX. I could usually blast one to bits with a single eel.

I think whatever was done to fix the "armed trawler bug" in GWX 2.0 may have something to do with it, but I'm not certain of that.

Hopefully it's just one of those weird events that happens in SH3 from time to time.
