I think the game has always been squirrly in it gun/ballistics behavior. You can have a shore gun put the first two rounds in the water 20 yds. in front of them, and the third, perfectly aimed, to hole your hull. It doesn't make sense, imo.

Anyway, take a break, and go on another patrol. You've been working really hard.
