WIP of a 12pdr 12 cwt quick-firing gun for the "Monmouth" class cruiser. It's low-poly to save resources (the "Monmouth" class mounted ten of them).
The 12 pounder was also part of the armament of HMS "Dreadnought", and several of Great Britain's WWI destroyers. On very small escorts like Drifters, it would have been the main armament. It was a mediocre weapon, with little value against the TB's/destroyers it was designed to sink. It did lacked stopping power, and it was calculated that one 4" hit was equal to about four 12pdr hits. Nevertheless, it was quite common, and will be seen in "Wolves of the Kaiser" on many ships built between 1890's to 1914.
As the war went on, Royal Navy ships were equipped with more effective 4" and 4.7" guns as anti-destroyer armament.
This gun is still powerful enough to leave your sub unable to dive if you take one hit to the pressure hull, so be careful out there.
