The gun fire depends on what version you are playing in stock and TMO it wont matter so much thanks to type of damage model so shot until it sinks in Real Fleet Boat you/d want to target areas that where already flooding or again shot until it sinks I aim for the water line myself.
Though I only use the deck gun on lone ships that need a coup de grace to finish them off so I don't usually fire but a maybe 10 shells at the most talking larger torpedo worthy ships here that have already suffered hits from fish.
Some of you guys are confusing what can happen in real life with what can happen in the game they are not the same.Unless you have a mod that simulates fire damage fires are nothing but eye candy in game just like the holes form torpedo and shell hits and if the something blows up or not it is all eye candy.
