I know not indeed what many thinks when about 250 - 300 kg of Torpex or explode under a ship?!?
Torpex is a certain proportion of aluminum, which is liquefied by the spark and then separately reacted with water, it makes the explosion nearly 5x as much ... just as an example, a USS Texas would be one (maybe two) Kiel shot been a German submarine probably sunk.

Only times to note - for the same reason both towers of the World Trade Center collapsed in 09/11 ... liquid aluminum and water.

Good info here!
However, it's not the torpedo damage that so many people are complaining.
It's the way ships sink.

For example, a Maya heavy cruiser, 15000 ton (full) displacement warship, with hundreds of watertight compartments, damage control parties and 1000 crew, sinks in less than a minute. I've seen battleships sink faster than this.
A well placed torpedo hit would indeed do grave damage to her, but she'll not go down under a minute no matter where it hit her.

And beside all this, you get the message "Ship destroyed", before your second torpedo launched 2 seconds later, explodes on her.

That's an immersion killer, if you ask me.

Oh ... then I have again misunderstood, my English is unfortunately very poor.

However, I have not a problem with the Sink Times because I play with SH4 TMO_RSRDC_OTC and my little ModSoup.
In said ModSoup among other ISP is included with the game-relevant files, which some but shifts the sinking behavior toward reality.

No problem with the language, Google is our friend, right?

Be well,
