In my experience some tactics and good gun crews can make a difference. Have your best gunners man the DG and man the AA with specialist (and yourself) to improve loading times. Engage at 2-3000 meters - use the optics. See to that both the DG and AA cannon are in sight of the target all them time. Use flank speed. It helps a lot with the later-generation fast-firing 20 mm's. The 37 mm is good for nothing.

While I agree that a MTB isn't worth risking the Boot for - except it might be the rare occasion that you want to surface to finish off a damaged merchant with the deck gun.
