Sometimes it has taken me like 60 shots to sink a ship and once or twice i have 1 shotted a passenger/cargo ship and snapped it in half. i noticed though using gwx3 that you have to shoot the ship below the waterline to sink it(unless you break its back with one shot)

I usually only shoot at ships that are around 2000 BRT or less and to finish off ships that didnt sink after being hit by a torpedo. (88mm)

And I also try to use the tactic posted by Ligne Maginot:

Quote:

Remember fired at a distance more than 3km with your gun, always seeing the stern or bow of the enemy ship, so that the enemy does not fire back with both barrels.

The first shots is to make fire and smoke making it easier to see him from afar, then points to the waterline.
