Deck guns alone only succeeded in sinking 5% of all ships sunk by U-boats (the figures are at U-boat.net - the figures are there - 2919 ships sunk, 158 by the deck gun, which is 5.41%), and I would imagine that if we could look at tonnage, the deck gun would be even more useless. As I look at it, the deck gun can hardly be said to have been 'useful' when it can only account for 5% of all sinkings. 5% means that you'd expect to sink 19 ships before you sank a single one with the deck gun. Even in RUb, with a severely nerfed deck gun, players can still get about 25% of sinkings with it. In order for the deck gun to be as 'useful' as it was in reality, it would need a further heavy duty nerf.
