[TEC] Absurdly tough submarines

well i never spent too much time on it but a center hit with torp is ineffective so i just shoot them for or aft of con and they go down with usually 2 or 3 torps. when i put 4 into midships under the con of a docked sub and it was still looking normal and undamaged, i left since i had no more fish.

going by what i saw i figured it was extra armor to midships so for and aft target is the way to go but again if in port it may not sink deep enough to register sunk. so a kill is not registered by attack but by flooding from damage. this is a game error that needs fixing.

i've only attacked subs docked in port so i cant say anything to compare with at sea

This was "docked" but not at a port, just in open water deeper than the sub by 2-3X.

I spread the fish pretty evenly, the boat what shreaded visualy. No rudder, screws, etc. Damage holes more than 50% of the length of the hull (some hit but showed no template in between).

Hard to believe anyone gets sunk at all in a sub.

Maybe the game is coded to prevent same side killings? Just a thought.
