Just playing regular Silent hunter 3.

I'm in a mission using a type IIA and its April 1942. The seas have been very rough on my little sub. I've sank a c2 cargo on my way to grid AM95. Then I came across two groups of enemy shipping. One being a taskforce containing two fiji class cruisers. I sunk those with only two torpedoes, 1 per ship.
The rest I left alone and I went on my way. As I got closer to my patrol grid, I yet came across another group which turn out to be a large convoy. It has two prizes I want. It has one t3 tanker and one t2 tanker. T2 tankers I can sink easily, but t3 tankers I can't even sink with two torps. Guess what I've only got two torps left.

I'm in position for a solution. I have saved the game here, and I have tried over and over again to learn an easy one shot one kill method for the T3 Tanker, but I have not been able to sink it or stall their engines.

I've tried everything, like setting a torp to magnetic pistol and shooting it under keel of the T3. Even tho luck was with me and it exploded causing some damage and flooding the bow, still that beast won't die!

Tried setting the torp to hit the bow, center and stern but no luck. Tried different depths in between 3-13 meters.

I even fired both torps with an impact pistol, hitting it several times and still it won't die!

What should I do? Any advice?
