I use deck gun when ever possible... trying to save torps for later :D

Usually if the ship is big I fire one torp first, if one torp doesn't sink it, I surface and finish it with the deck gun.

Here's another deckgun related question...

If you give your watch officer a gunner/flak gunner qualification, does it affect the skill of your deck/flack gun crew?

And who actually uses Starshells???

I think the qualifications only increase the accuracy of AI gunnery.
By the way, I tried to use the deck gun on my VIIC in 1940, getting 60k tonnage:cool:

In GWX, having an officer & PO gunner qualified makes a BIG difference, in accuracy, effectiveness and speed of reloading. Earlier, I mentioned sinking a ship with four shots. That was with gunner officer and PO.

Happy shooting, Mates. :up:
