Took me 5 or 6 shells to sink a coastal freighter a couple of days ago, and that's my best score so far...

I have taken out a ship once with one shot, but very rare.

Best I did was one shot......which missed....

But the trawler was already listing badly due to some earlier attack, and it sunk some hours later

About 6 rounds to sink a costal freighter, due to me hitting it in its fuel bunker and sunk within 3 minutes.

In GWX with realistic damage settings, 1 shot for a coal tender, 2 or 3 is the best I've done with a small merchant. About 5 hits for an Empire class freighter. Secondary explosions and blowing up the cargo really seem to hurt small merchants more than other ships.
