HMS Hood....too vulnerable?

Oh, I'm well aware of that.

I think I've sunken pretty much every ship in GWX with a single torp a majority of the time, at least in the earlier releases. I remember the Iowa-class BBs giving me some trouble, but for the most part ships went down with a single shot.

When I snuck in to Loch Ewe once, I found two carriers, four BBs, some cruisers, etc. The cruisers went down with a single shot to the ammo bunker area, but those damned carriers ate all my torps. I got them to sink but only to the point that they got stuck in the mud at the bottom.

What was interesting, and what I'm going to test in GWX2 later, is that pretty much all ships, ALL ships, can be sunk with a single torp while under way in the earlier versions of GWX. A single shot to the stern as close to the props as can be placed will pretty much sink anything that's out at sea.

That ASW sure does make raiding harbors fun, though.
