Like you wrote I do get the targets to stop but I need an additional torpedo sometimes even two of them to sink them.
I once hit a large cargo with my last 3 torpedoes, I was out of deck gun ammo so I couldnt finish her with that. I stayed put for several hours but she just laid there with 20 degrees tilt. So I send a contact report and went home.

There's a section in the GWX manual on damage models & if I remember correctly, it states that most targets will require more than 1 torpedo to destroy them. You will still be able to destroy a ship with 1 shot but it happens far less frequently than in the stock game. I just sank a Greek small merchant in BF 19 and it took 3 torpedoes (2 bow shots & a stern shot). She had been sailing at about 8kts. The winds were at 15m. I set 2 T1's to 3.5m. These impacted forward of her bridge. She slowed to 1kt then increased speed to 2. Not wanting to waste another bow shot I went to flank speed & swung us around for the stern shot. That one hit right underneath her bridge & she exploded.
