Since I use torpedoes on ships, I never use the guns and never spend any renown on upgrades. When I see planes my reaction is to dive, not do battle with a popgun. When I see ships I think torpedoes and big explosions, not tiny gun and tiny explosions. Attacking armed ships with guns is suicide. They never miss and you can't hit them enough to matter.
Thankfully the modern navy has reduced the drag on subs and have eliminated guns and their platforms.

Yes,
it is suicide, I just take on sampans and fishing vessel with my AA gun? Why can't we reprogram the AI to sink Sampans and Fishing vessels with the AA gun when in fact they did in the real war?
It would be nice if they could do that. A 40mm bofors is extremely powerful against a sampan and sinks it in 6 shots. I know, I sank one with a 40mm bofors once.
They do a nice job against merchant ships, though.
