Okay, you win. Many years ago I had a conversation about naval wargaming, and I was observing that even battleships shooting at each other don't normally just sink from flooding, at least not flooding from shell fire. My friend observed that that wasn't true: "Hood sank from flooding caused by shellfire. Sure, there was a catastrophic explosion, but still..."

So, it was the water! Imagine if it would've been milk.

Ive never had a problem,in fact I sank it twice in two patrols,I thought once it was sunk in a career,it was gone till the next career,but I guess it respawns soon after sinking.But the first took 3 topedos to slow it down and one final shot once I got in front of it and waited for her.
The second went down with 4 comfirmed hits.
