Today I torpedoed a small coast merchant. Not the coast merchant, a small one. The torpedo hit the boat starboard side. It was lifted out of the water and made a complete clockwise rotation, slammed back into the water on its masts, righted itself on the keel and sank. It had taken about 5 seconds for all of this. Awesome! Whats your best sinking?

my best experience was sinking a C3 cargo full of ammo. i got in real close and hammered it with my deck gun. i have a 5.1 speaker setup, when the ship went up in blazes, the whole room vibrated and felt like the windows would break! http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
i strongly reccomend to anyone who wants to feel the explosions to get good speakers, makes a huge difference.

Best so far was a T3 tanker in a convoy. First torp brought it to a stop. 2nd torp blew her up as a coastal merchant was trying to pass it. Both blewup and sank. Sweet!

torpedoed a tribal (i think)destroyer, magnetic torp went under keel and blew up under the gun tower. i guess hit the ammo storage, cuz the ship was covered with explosio, all i could see was fire. then it broke in 2 and quickly sank.

Their modeled as being on the ship, but for some reason those merchantmen have balls of steel, since they never seem to man the lifeboats.

So it's true that splash damage can take out other ships as well? Will this happen without a mod?

I crept into Scapa Flow in one of the pre made scenarios. After evading destroyers in 21 meter deep water for a couple hours at night I found the Revenge sitting at anchor with perhaps 2 meters of depth under her keel. I closed within 400 meters and put a torp, contact detontion, at 6 meters deep under the rear most turret. I assumed the magazine must be there and it certainly was. KABOOM! Parts of the Superstructure and the Stack came down, the turrets went off kilter and she sunk stern first, although she didn't break in two and most of the ship sat exposed on the surface because it was so shallow. I put two more torps into her, even though she was dead, to make certain they didn't raise her! The only problem is the two torps bounced off her and detonated on the sea bed. Strange, but it must be a glitch because she was already dead.

From what I have read, the boat you are on is refered to as "she" and the enemy is "he". Just what I have read.
