Yeah I've one shotted merchants before but its very rare.

And out of all my time playing GWX I've NEVER seen the Hood! I will pop open some champange when I kill that ship I tell you lol its getting very annoying.

Took me 5 or 6 shells to sink a coastal freighter a couple of days ago, and that's my best score so far...

1 shell only, a coastal freighter, hit it just right apparently and it split in half and sank in a minute

yarr..

I have taken out a ship once with one shot, but very rare.

Interesting, one shot kill never happened to me in my two careers (total over 50 patrols). Lucky guys

About 6 rounds to sink a costal freighter, due to me hitting it in its fuel bunker and sunk within 3 minutes.

In GWX with realistic damage settings, 1 shot for a coal tender, 2 or 3 is the best I've done with a small merchant. About 5 hits for an Empire class freighter. Secondary explosions and blowing up the cargo really seem to hurt small merchants more than other ships.
