Definitely not one for players who like to keep things realistic, but the AA armament works very well vs torpedo boats. (AA guns also work well against other types of small boats... fishing boats, motor launches, yachts etc...)

They can't take much punishment, especially if you've upgraded to a dual mount or better, and they seem to miss with their own guns a lot - at least in my experience. I keep my speed up, get in close and then shoot them as they circle, but better kill them quickly otherwise you'll start losing your deck crew.

I don't think I've ever managed to hit one with the deck gun, pretty hard when they are whizzing around you at 40kts, but I've always been a terrible shot with it anyway.

Probably still best to leave them alone though, I think if they spot you and if any of their aircraft or destroyer friends are nearby, they will alert them onto your last known position.
