Torpedo tactics

I remember reading that some caps boasting they could sink a large ship with one torp. I'd like to know how they did it - since it takes me at least 2 torps (with a finishing off with the deck gun) or 3 torps by themselves for a large ship like a C2 or T3. Where should tropedo depth be set? I've read from about a foot below the keel (magnetic pistol), or the waterline.

btw, I just sunk my first ship in GW.

It was large (11719 tons), don't know what though since the manual didn't identify it (still like the new manual better). The realism in GW makes the difference: realistic sinking time, better sound effects, extra maps, etc. Though my hydrophone guy seems to have super-hearing (as opposed to the deaf dude in the vanilla version), because he could hear ships before I could! I have ambient sound up.
