I almost never use the deck gun the gunners on the Japanese ships are too accurate and fill my subs with holes before I can damage them. The new submarine damage model of RFB cures the "Invulnerable Submarine" of the stock game. Battling it out on the surface is no longer a good option for me.
Ships have lousy brakes, it takes a while to stop. Depending on the type of ship, there might be more than one boiler in operation. The Fletcher Class DD I was on had four.
When I set up a torpedo solution I always aim behind the funnel at the engine room, trying to flood both the engine and boiler rooms with a hit. This almost always results in the ship slowing and stopping and eventually sinking. It might work with a deck gun.
