Heavy seas... chickendung crew wouldnt hop on the deck gun.
Spread angle tighter... that is a GOOD idea. Not even sure what it was set at. Spreadshot tubes 1 and 3 withouth changing the angle. That may woulda done the trick. Big hole = more water.
It was like sept. 3 1939 or something close, too. UK had just gone from green to red and it was the first ship I saw I could sink. The fact I ended up NOT sinking it still annoys me.
