Can anyone confirm seeing damaged ship sinking on its own?

You need to level up your torpedoes.

why isnt this ship considered sunk when the back half of it was underwater and yet it still had a 'lifebar'

Same thing happened to me, i shot the back of a merchant and the rest of it was still floating with a life bar, but my deck gun just went through the ship without hitting it after that.
Decided to launch a torpedo at it, that went straigth through as well.
Dont know if it would have sunk in time couse I got pissed and loaded last saved game rigth after that.

I can confirm watching a ship sink in heavy seas now for 100% certain with no bugs. Took 3 minutes 50 seconds about from cease fire to it finally going down. This was with a half hull 3/4ths full water bar. I wont post pictures cause i play at 1900x1200 and thats stupid big and i dont feel like cropping right now..im playing my game lol.

Here is the ship, still alive (somehow), note the time and the map that shows it still alive.

Note the amount of freaking holes i had to punch in it just to get it down 1/4th a water bar.

I had the exact same problem as the OP until I gave in and installed the double damage torpedo mod. Ships now seem to actually take on water and sink even if I don't destroy every single bit of HP.

I think the problem might be that the torpedoes are not doing enough damage to actually penetrate the hull and let water in.

i've got a fair few crew xp to spend that I haven't done anything with yet - so i think the first thing i do when i get home today is to spend every last one on increasing torp damage, and see if this makes a difference.

Heck I blew the stern off of a T3 tanker with my deck gun and it still didn't sink. Had to leave and evade the Destroyer. Came back and there it was, happily floating missing it's back end
