damage graphics overdone?

I think the solution to the problem is rather simple:
Don't get hit by the enemy. If you're getting hit, you're doing it wrong.

My favorite is when I torpedo an enemy ship, and the propeller shafts are gone, but the props are still spinning away happily. (Of course, again, if you're torpedoing ships, and their propellers are still working, you're doing it wrong.

)

The massive holes in submarines and targets are a bit overdone. It's nice to see a hole appear, but it should really be related to the amount of damage done. It's annoying to see a line of holes down the side of a ship with the bow blown open, and the ship doesn't even slow down.

thats one of my pet peeves with the game, if you open a hole into the engine compartment of any ship there should no longer be any engine power or propulsion.

i cant recall which one but there is a CL cruiser you can blow the props off of yet it continues on at full speed with NO PROPELLARS!

HIJMS Red October? The one with the experimental supplementary drive built into the hull away from the props?

The graphics are way overdone.
Imagine my face as a massive hole appeared in my beloved Type IXD/2!
