It shows that 210 kg of TNT can't sink ship from distance 120-180 yds. In other hand, your damages was not massive. I think they responds 2-6 MPa.
I can't find information how strong nuclear warhead had shkval, but i think nuke explosion from that distances should sink your sub immediatly.
Conclusions:
- In RA shkval does little too powerfull damages from distances 120-180 yards but i think it is acceptable for "game purposes".
- damages you took definitely was not from nuke warhead

I agree that a nuke at that distance would result in immediate sinking. I also agree with both of your conclusions. The Skhval's current explosion would be consistent with a rather small nuke (<0.1 kiloton), but I feel the Shkval would have a much larger nuke (or at least it could) because it is a rather large torpedo. It seems likely Sonalysts modeled Shkvals this way for gameplay purposes, which I'm fine with.
EDIT: By the way, the stuff you posted is very cool
