On the other hand these coastal types seem to always take two torps and I have never managed to do anything but bring perhaps a 50% max speed reduction with one hit. This does not seem right to me for a ship which is smaller and dare say more lightly armored than a DD.

I have also come to fear the accuracy/depth charge ability of these patrol boats more than I am DD's. Perhaps I have a data corruption somewhere but I have had a couple of occurences where a coastal boat just got close to me and I incurred major damage which sunk me (there was no preceding attack by this boat with depth charges --- I hear it approach it gets close and the next thing is the "broken glass" sound and I have massive damage)

I have made no changes to the damage models in RSRDC. If you want a better Damage model I recommend the current version of RFB
