Have you tried loading a nuke with IC-4? Maybe you need TWO railguns? Two not enough? Try four linked railguns loaded with physicorium nuke shells and IC-4! (I don't actually think that's a thing) Be inventive with the sub editor. If it's a one-shot-kills-anything gun you're after, I'm thinking maybe Goldeneye is the game for you.

Nukes are overrated and are more useful against enemy submarines than actual Abyss creatures due to their EMP effect.
Try a Flak Cannon.

If it doesn't work out for you then you could try out this mod, since you posted in Workshop Discussions after all.

No, I haven't I didn't know I can load up C4 into a shell ?

Four linked railguns ? how do you do that ? do I need to design a sub to do that ?

Physicorium nuke shells ? again how do you made that I read somewhere in crafting how to create physicorium, but the nuke variant I don't know if I ever read that.

what mod are you using ? or are you using vanilla ?

Well not exactly one hit kill everything just feel kind of demoralizing if you fire a nuke and the damage is just abysmall small damage when in turn the enemy can just rampage and destroy your sub in seconds.

Like to finish the thing could probably in estimation needed 100 nukes shells.. as the damage is small..

Flak cannon, I haven't tried that one, what rounds do you use ?

EK remastered is this mod working with the latest barotrauma updates and version ? because I remember the EK branch lot of them got abandoned and not being updated to the current barotrauma.

For Flak Cannon generally any ammotype works, although I personally use Focused & Physicorium Shells the most. Focused lets you make sure that all shrapnel makes it into a single target and Physicorium just delivers insane amounts of damage against large creatures.
You can think of the Cannon as like a shotgun-like sub weapon against creatures.

The mod I linked works with the latest Barotrauma version, there is several different updated versions of EK but the linked one seems like a most recent one with actual balance put into it.
I find the Flechette Railgun Shells to be better against creatures compared to the regular ones.

I only play vanilla. I was being a bit jokey with my suggestions, the abyss monsters are supposed to be big and scary, and do a lot of easy damage to your sub - that's just the way they are now (because apparently they weren't nasty enough before). In the sub editor you can create pretty much any combination of weapons you like, wire up one, two, or more railguns to the same periscope and trigger if you like, though I don't know quite how that would work, if they would all aim correctly at the same target. There are also nuclear depth charges (if you fit a depth charge launcher to the sub in the sub editor), but they're generally only useful for hitting slow or stationary targets directly below you.

Each railgun shell has a slot where you can load almost anything, if you put explosives in then it will create a bigger bang, IC-4 is (I think) the most powerful explosive, not sure where Compound-N fits into the explosives power scale. You could also try poisons, though I'm not sure if they have much of an effect when delivered via a railgun shell, if any.

A physicorium railgun shell loaded with one IC-4 should deliver quite a punch to a monster of any size, just don't expect to take down an abyss monster as quickly as a moloch or brood mother.

I rarely bother with nukes, they're far more effective against enemy submarines and make short work of wrecks. Otherwise, too dangerous to use on a fast moving target.

I don't think physicorium nuke shells exist in the vanilla game, though that would surely be the ultimate weapon!

Can't say for sure how it stacks up against a nuke, but this thing destroys everything I've seen it shoot so far.
