end arounds - I hate having to shoot at something moving away from me! After one hit, merchants, tankers, etc., begin to behave erratically. A well-placed shot from astern has a longer run time, thus giving the target the opportunity to maneuver out of position (even at short distances!) SH5 merchies (unrealistically) turn on a dime ("and give you five cents change").
Deck gun? Can't use any longer as freighter/oiler gunners are deadeye killer marksmen! If this astounding firing acumen had any basis in fact, the U-Boat portion of the War in the North Atlantic would've been over before the end of '41!
