Merchants have too many hitpoints? - Page 2

Sinking mechanics are broken i saw only once when merch sunk by flooding. I turn on health bars to take a closer look in to this and this looks like flood bar decrase only for couple second then stop. GWX SM should be ported to Sh5 (except passager/cargo

)i really liked how GWX ships can be sunken by flooding in time a day or two sometimes longer. Not to mention in SH5 cripled ships can mantain speed and steam without propeller.

Damage the stern portion of the ships with 2-3 torpedoes and they will eventually go down; if you save and reload you'll have a crippled unsinkable ship that requires more damage to be put out for good.

actually i killed a small tanker with a bow shot

Last night I ran into a 9 ship convoy with 3 DD screen. Managed to get a snap shot on a Cimmaron tanker that blew her nose off. Other 3 torpedo's took out the other tankers and merchants.

Dove deep and waited with silent running for the screen to move off with the remaining ships. Surfaced probably 4 hours later (in game time) to take in my external torpedo's and reload when I see the tanker burning off in the distance. She's stopped, burning from aft to what's left of her bow and just sitting there in the heavy seas.

Took about 40 rounds from the deck gun to finally get her to go under

Have screenshots but not here on the work PC lol

Is there One Torpedo To Rule Them All forged from the fires of der Adlerhof that can be unlocked when you get your captain to Level 60?

But you can't kill the infernal demon-crew, they will keep wandering on the deck even if on fire or under water. You have to sprinkle some Norwegian Holy water on your torp first.

Not to brag, but I may have a more balanced solution to this than making torpedoes more powerfull. Give the third MOD link in my sig a try, even if you don't like it I'd much appreciate to hear why not.

Thanks Arc, will definitely try it
