I've given up on a few ships in GWX. I waited over a day while they were dead in the water with decks awash and they never went down.
re: splitting ships in half with the deck gun . . . the manual says GWX decreases the deck gun effectiveness by about half, but I've found it's actually a lot more effective than stock, especially the 105 which is just crazy powerful. Maybe it's just my gunnery, I've always been good at hitting below the waterline and I guess the GWX damage model rewards that. I'm routinely sinking small merchants with 5 shots or less with the 105 and Empire freighters are about the same. Like I need more incentive to use up my torps on the escorts so I can surface and run amok with the gun :p
