These torpedo guzzlers are full of hot air generated by Subsimers. Best to just let them go.

Bow shot under the forward mast at 2.5M and they will go down due to flooding within the hour.

I will try HW3 and K-61's advice, then. 1/3 back/under the foremast.

The next time that is..... this one already got one torpedo and he is not going to get another one. I will follow him to Tahiti, first. It violates my theology and geometry to use more than one torpedo on anything bigger than 7000 tons.

Edit: Thanks @jimbuna. Our messages crossed. That chart, even though it is for stock, should be enormously useful for new captains; I remember having it at some point. Thank you!

Default Props?

One would think a hit at the stern would blow off or damage the props and/or rudder. That would at least halt the ship.

If nobody is around, deck gun at the waterline? Pick a second shot at the best guess and leave her to wallow.

Deck gun at the water line, is a good option if weather permits, and you do not have other unwanted guests,

Vendor, if weather permitted, I wouldn't be wasting a torpedo on an 3K tonner. Not in 1940, anyway.

Anyway, you try putting 20 under the waterline of a Passenger/Cargo. She'll sail off at 7 knots, bobbing along like a rubber ducky.

True! If you are unlucky it may be so, otherwise leave her and move on
