I have yet to read successful stories about the deck guns. Sure some will point me to some link showing some u-Boat victory over a small merchant ship with the DG, but the point is it was actually very rare and the last thing to do.

opening discusion about DG and the missing AP in GW...
So whats the point of all this?
is GW meant to be a bit more realist than standard SH3 or not?
For example to pin-down a ship (like a large merchant/tanker) in GW would take beside 1 torp, from 50 to more than 100 shots (HE only).
This seem to be far from real (actually SH3 standard Deck Gun seem more realistic in this respect)
Other matter is Uboats didn't carry more than 220 units of HE (again other deviation to suite other purposes beyond reality).
Edited
I give you a simple example:
A simple PT boat took 57 shots of HE and remained afloat.
And to sink it I had to recurr to ram it because I was wasting too many ammo in a tiny little boat... eventually it sank after ramming.
