C2 takes along time to sink

Yeah the bow shot. I was attacking a convoy and as a snap shot i launched stern tube at large merchant only expecting it to cripple or miss completly. I shot bow tubes at heavy transports and they had no affect. I dove and got ship sunk message. I checked the map and it was behind me. So yeah i like bow shots now.

Should have finished it immediately when you found her dead in the water. The arrival of the DD is classical in this game.

well i came back at the black of night about 0830pm and she was still there so I shot an eel from the stern and she went down in two!

Then I went back to brest to conclude my 3rd war patrol.

The longest time I saw for a ship to sink is about 2 hours. I think that if she has not sunk within a couple of hours, she will never sink, if you don't finish her with another torpedo or the deck gun.
