Whats does it take to sink the Hood?

Early in the war I managed to run into her twice in one patrol and sunk both times with 3 magnetic shots, few patrols later found a pair of them docked in Liverpool. Was my most successfull patrol ever with 256,000 tons with my VIIB.

To sink her in 3 or less you're pretty much have to use magnetic settings. If it's rough weather you gotta spend all 4 and hope that there's enough critical hits to flood and sink it. 1 shot sinking was aimed right under the B turret, about a meter behind the center of the cupolla. 2 shot sinking aim each one to detonate between each set of turrets, and 3 shot sinking aim in the middle under the smoke stack.

Haven't come across it in awhile , but for magnetic aiming you need to set it a bit lower than usual. The shape of the keel is really strange, its concave. Had a spread of 3 set at 11.9 meters (think its draft was 11.1?) and the two turrets will detonate but the middle will bounce off the bottom. Need to lower it to about 12.1 to ensure all 3 explode at their proper places.
