With that little ammo you will sink eventually 2-3 ships thats it.
And it was doable in reality!

Barely doable, and hardly ever happened. I don't think there's any historical precedent on a widespread basis to think you should be sinking multiple ships with the deck gun over the course of one patrol. It may have happened. So did an incident of a plane being shot down by a type VII's DG. But that doesn't mean that we should suddenly jump out and make it into an uber-anti-air weapon, too.
We've had the 60-second discussion so many times before it makes me sick already.
PLEASE. Remember that the stated 15-18 rounds a minute is a not a sustained fire rate, but a maximum instantaneous fire rate, with a fresh crew and ready-use ammunition on deck (limited to ~20 first rounds). In reality, the fire rate over a prolonged engagement would actually be nearer to 80 seconds/shot.
