What about underwater range, I haven't seen that mentioned.
I think people here are forgetting that drag increases with speed. You can't really say "hey, removing the deck gun should gain you x speed" Physics doesn't work that way. If you can get the boat to go fast enough, at some point the drag reduction will be noticed. The question is: is this point within the top speed of the boat? I would bet that at slow speed, the removal would have almost no impact. At flank ahead (7 knots), I'm not sure, but you would defanetly be more likely to see the impact. Anyway, I don't think the game engine allows you to model the impact of variable speed differences well, does it?
