I feel as though the game allows you to be far more accurate with the deck gun than seas would have permitted. Land-based guns didn't have to worry about the pitch and roll of the boat, so extremely long ranges would be far more feasible.

You can, with practice, lob rounds well over 2 or 3 km, which would have been (I imagine) extremely hard to do on even very calm seas with any accuracy.
