LoL.... well of course you are right and the Germans wised up and started removing deck guns in the latter years of the war when it became clear how utterly useless they were. But in the early war years a u-boat commander in a big type IX could use his 105mm to reasonably good effect. Again, U123 and it's success off the USA Eastern Seaboard is the best example I know of.
