Not in SH4, no, I don't imagine so. This was SH1, where they would not fire until around 2000 yds away. I would open fire around 4000-6000 yards, the computer would automatically adjust the gun for range. With a heavier gun, it would take about 10-15 rounds, with a lighter gun earlier in the war, it would take between 25 and 50 rounds. Actually, if I remember correctly, the S-class had heavier guns than the P-class, so many of the P-classes were refitted with the guns from the S-classes as the S-classes were sent back for training purposes.
Just got sunk in SH1 by a merchant who was firing from 3000 or 4000 yards, very accurately, I might add; I had already taken some damage from another armed freighter of some kind. Won a Posthumous MOH, SS, NC. Yay.
