Default Y Gun vs. K Gun

I'm no expert, Marko, but I believe a K gun fires a single DC 90 degrees to the DD's course (they might be able to rotate to different angles, but I don't know thatJ). A Y gun fires 2 DC at a time with a "spread" - one may be ahead and the other perpendicular. I'm really guessing at that, not having done research. Like I said, both fire DCs out to the side of the DD at varying ranges, but Y guns can fire off 2 at a time. Add in multiple Y guns on each side, and twin stern racks, and you are in for a noisy and deadly time.

Later in the war, I just try to stay out of their way unless I am cornered in shallow water.
