Ship sinking (She's going down sir!)

@Platapus: I'm of that school that, if something's good enough to shoot, it's good enough to shoot again (or even a third time). I usually fire a minimum of 2 torps at a target, more if it's larger. The majority of the time, I'll see the "she's going down, sir" message while still at the scope.

The other times usually involve situations where I've launched a couple of fish at a target, had to dive deep to avoid DDs before impact, but got the "going down" message while running deep and quiet, getting the credit as well. Obviously, this means you don't need a visual, but just how far away can you be and still get credit? Is that distance affected by weather conditions?
