A missile of that size on a pure pursuit course is, itself, a target. If you couldn't get your ass underwater fast enough (highly unlikely) then you had damn well better get your guns around! Thank goodness for the 25mm, I suppose.
As far as sinking a C3, well that was exaggeration. Firstly, you'd use all the torpedoes necessary to bring down a C3. But for that lone, 1800 ton, unescorted merchant vessel so far from home...I think a 57mm might do! If you haven't noticed I have a fetish for submarines with cannons. Something about not being defenseless on the surface...
Now, sir, your models are quite impressive. However, I have extremely little experience modifying SHIII, but fortunately (I guess) if someone were to begin on a Zulu class, the Type XXI is a natural starting place. They seem quite similar. I've even found a cutaway drawing of the boat and some interior shots from a surviving ship, if you're into modeling interiors.
Don't you just love the bridge of the Zulu?
