Tough to say. Each scenario was dynamic. We estimated and adjusted to correct as necessary. Usually our first round was darn close even if we didn't destroy the target with the first round. Additionally, it would be a bad idea to walk out onto an impact range to obtain exact measurements.
Naval gunnery is far more dynamic as I've explained... and as you already know.

Obviously a cannon is not a shotgun... but you've also missed the whole point of my analogy: Projectiles fired from even the steadiest of barrels will have a point of impact variance in three dimensions. It is only a question of how much variance. Using a shotgun as a reference was an intentionally extreme example meant simply to illustrate my point.
"Think of your deck gun as being a shotgun... a shotgun that fires pellets that scatter as you would expect... but only one at a time instead. Just because your scopes are on target... doesn't mean your shells will all hit the target."

Not that I am aware of, but you can use S3D to compare/copy/paste stock SH3 elevation and traverse tolerances to your own GUNS_SUB.sim file.
Doing so should help facilitate the total destruction of further convoys as you seem to enjoy.
