Split the in the middle then both will go down veritcally, like goalposts!

warships do that often, but merchants only once in a while when hit more than once in the stern.

I've had a couple of merchants go down steep stern first after just clipping their propeller with my torpedo, but never seen one go down vertically yet! Can't speak for warships though - I've not attacked one yet.

OK just saw my first vertical sinking - hit a C2 in the bum and took her prop off - came back later and fired another which hit her mid ships - no explosion - but the rough waves rolled her over so that her bridge was in the water!!! and then she went down by the stern vertically!! that was really neat!
