Where are the different ships?

Not replying directly to you, Gereke, but you hit on a couple of points that are worth elaboration.

Not only is accuracy overdone in stock, so is the power of the shell .. which is why we get a joker coming by here a couple of times a year bragging about sinking battleships with a deck gun. GWX corrects that.

Also, in stock, every ship tends to blow up like a munitions freighter. A real ship would never sink that way, and GWX takes care of that, too, by insisting on flooding.

Or below the waterline. You want to see a splash and just enough time to doubt yourself before you see a (very) brief flash. 3-4 of those, spaced out along the hull, should sink anything under 5K. You might have to wait a while, though, which is one more "reality" that GWX adds.
