SS1 sinks BB5! (Well, almost)

So my SN SS1 just layed into a BB5 of some sort, I think (I might be a tier off in my guess, I'm not good at recognizing battleships). It was in a GB my team was losing, which meant I was actually able to get close to a BB before running out of air. Needless to say, I was pretty excited.
I managed to score all six torpedo hits directly to the dead centre of her length, and I was pretty proud of myself for it, since I had to use all my forward and aft tubes. Reloading wasn't really an option, since I was at less than half air and my level 40's crew wouldn't have had a reload ready before my air ran out. When I ran out of air I got sunk in a heartbeat, and looked up to see I had only five attack for the whole battle. Not 5k, just 5. I tell you what though, I messed up that BB's bulge and SD something fierce.
My goal for next round is to bring my average up to a whole point of attack per torpedo launched. Crazy? Maybe. Ambitious? Definitely. But you just watch!

Unfortunately, this makes your test pretty worthless. I've sunk BB5's solo in a CA in a GB... doesn't mean CA's are better. Furthermore, I would also like to see a video and the setup of the BB5 you got 5 attack from for a full salvo. Maybe they were under your torp activation range?

Your SS1 is so massively overpowered.
You should never have been able to actually allow your "OVERPOWERED" torpedoes actually touch a Battleship!! Oh my, Oh my goodness.
Haven't you been reading all the forum posts about how your "Level 40" ship should (Never, Ever) be allowed within striking distance of a Battleship.
The only saving grace is that you didn't actually sink it. Phew!
That would mean that another SS Nerf would be necessary and NF would remove half your torpedoes and reduce their HE to a tenth.
Next time, keep to your low level classes. You are not allowed to sink battleships, just because they present their big fat belly to your front topedoes, you cannot fire them. It really makes some people on this forum upset.
Now put your SS back in its harbor and never bring it back out.
!!SNARK!!

It wasn't a test, I was just playing for fun and XP. The BB wasn't nearly close enough to be within the safety range, though I didn't think to get any screenshots 'till it was too late. Who knows why my attack was so low, maybe it was actually an AW QV with tons of bulge... like I said, I don't have an eye for recognizing BBs. It looked kind of Monty-ish, I guess... meh. I just wanted to relate my "WTF" experience in a (hopefully) amusing story. Of all my SS1 complaints, I wouldn't say torpedo power is one of them. I have no agenda here.

I'm starting to think that some of the crazy pro-sub people are actually meta trolls that post the way they do in an effort to make all the other sub players look bad. It's really the only answer.

100+ bulge easily beats out 5 torps

Well that makes sense. I'm pretty sure I made him smoke, so I definitely got through his bulge, but who knows by how much. There's always the possibility that my attack counter was bugged, too. I've sunk full-DP subs before by myself in my KM SS3, and only gotten like 6k attack from it. The whole point was just to have a laugh at my epic sub adventure, anyways :D
