Yea that is exactly true with the deck gun. I think the earlier post was regarding surfaced torpedo attacks. Historically submarine attacks were done at night while surfaced from a range of about 1500m. In game however, the majority of time, one gets are easily detected by the convoy from this range at night. Making periscope attacks the norm in game for torpedo attacks.

From uboat.net they have stats on all ships sunk by subs and by what means and there was onlt about 220 ships sunk exclusively using a deck gun. So that aspect is not modeled well at all in the game. I simply quit using my deck gun altogether except to finish off a ship that has been torpedoed already, and then I limit the rounds I use.
hmmmm i manage surfaced torpedo night attacks fine as well do you run with your decks a wash

ive gotten within 500 meters of a merchie without being detected on the surface in fairly good visiblility

this seems odd to me that your being detected at ranges of up to 1500m at night ill have to do some experiments
