Oh it's absolutely ridiculous, no idea why they would not make them multi purpose.The good news is the 40 MM will do some damage to most smaller ships but do have to operate it.I prefer to use the 40 on fishing boats, junks etc over the deck gun, seems to work quicker, guess the he rounds do the job.Also great, if in a pinch, for taking out topside on escorts, ive disabled escorts with 40 mm and 20 mm before, strafing gun crews and like armistead mentioned, depth charge racks, enabling me to escape.Once I mustve killed everyone topside because i strafed the bridge and the deck guns with 20 mm and few 40 mm, they were coming in to ram i moved, they just kept sailing right passed me, didnt fire anymore or anything, just kept sailing in straight line.Reminded me of the USS Salmon's patrol in October 1944, they surfaced after a terrible depth charge attack, strafed a CD ship as it came along to ram, killed and injured everyone topside, enabled salmon to escape. Definitely a risk esp in TMO
