JP, thanks for your comments and observations.
I've had similar experiences as yours. I recall one time I hit a fat T-3 tanker and she listed over until her railings were just about touching the water, part of the stern underwater. She seemed to take forever to settle and stubbornly clung to the surface. I can't remember what I did in the end, but I did take some screenshots of her.
So, perhaps they did take it a bit too far. On balance, I still tend to favour the GWX damage model, but the beauty of this game is you can play it your way. It's been years since I last played so perhaps I am skewing things in my memory.
Still no word yet on the new system. I've been off a few days; today is my last day at home. I guess the systems will arrive any day now, now that I have to go back to work.
