You will find it difficult to get tonnage using the RUb deck gun. In real life it was most often used as a secondary weapon to finish off smaller ships or ships that had already been torpedoed, and RUb's deck gun reflects this. It is still possible to use the deck gun in RUb to sink ships, but (as in real life) you run a big risk of air attack because the deck gun reload time is so slow.
