As far I can remember, in Stock version of SH3 u can see ships turned turtle more than in GWX cuz of the damage model they made.

Well ships in GWX sink from flooding i belive.
So where you put your torps will have an effect on how the ships sinks.
I have seen a few ships capsize, it does happen but not all the time.
To be honest i dont think i have seen a ship sink the same way twice in all the time have been playing GWX now that must be a good thing

I did see a Medium (or small I don't remember) Merchant capsizing once in GWX. I fired two torpedoes on the port side and as it flooded it turned 180 deg as she was going down.

Yes but it doesn't happen often.
Especially big ships with deep keels capsizes some times when hit with multiple impact torp's fired from the same angle.
When they almost go under, the roll over and sink upside down.
