NYGM_GWX different number of torpedo's for kill

So, which damage model is more realistic?

When I think of a carrier, in this case, I think of large compartments, and no real armor belt around the hull. I could be wrong on this but, carrier sinkings, both British and American in WWII, were many times accomplished with a couple of torpedo's, ala GWX. But this presumes that the carrier is hit in its most vulnerable area (s) of the hull which can't be done each and everytime.

On the other hand, the NYGM model, while totally realistic in concept may take the damage/flooding model too far, imho regarding the sinking of a vessal that was historically a fairly easy boat to sink in real life.
