When you have your men engage a target with the deckgun, does it help having the WO shout the range/bearing of the vessel? Will the men adjust their aim accordingly?

Thanks!

i think only the skills/experience of the men at the gun are counting...

I think WO will increase deckgun accuracy but asking him for range wont do a thing,it passive.

I usually check range at the UZO before I man the deck gun for myself. While I may have my guys fire the AA guns for me, it's rare that I will let them do shots from the deck gun.

I think the the gun skills are applied to the men at the gun, no matter the WO on deck.
