The 76 mm only engage surface vessels. As it is too slow to engage planes as per the Perry configuration armament of the game. Those ships were created in the 70's and went through several modifications. The version of the 76 mm represented in the game does not shoot flying objects.

Besides, that canon where it is placed can only shoot at targets starboard side and port side. It does not shoot aft and fore. What is the viability to turn a ship broadside to an incoming plane or missile, to only gain the use of the 76 mm which in some configuration, is too slow to shoot successfully a fast target?...That is logical too!...In those instance keeping a smaller profile to the incoming threat is also good tactics when the remaining weaponry is focusing on the incoming threat.
