After reading from others how the deck gun has been downgraded so lots of rounds are needed to do effective damage, I feel better. I suppose the gun was probably not used all that much during the actual war, so for the sake of realism I can live without using it to nail a couple extra ships on top of my torpedo kills.

I just finished my second patrol. I sank the Large Cargo with a keel shot and around 60 shells, then steamed over to Lock Ewe and sank a Nelson with two keel shots. I actually fired three torpedoes but one was a premmie. Of the two that made it, one was a critical hit. Next, I sailed down to Gilbraltar after doing my 24 hours and ran into a task force off Spain. I sank another Nelson there with 3 torpedoes. It sank after about 10 minutes, having gone dead in the water.

Finally, I set up to ambush off the Gilbraltar Straits and caught a CV task force heading out to sea. I hit the Illustrious with two out of 3 torpedoes and it sank by the bow after about 15 minutes. I hit two Revenge BB's with one torpedo each during this patrol but neither of them flinched.

Total:
1 Large Cargo
2 Nelson's
1 Illustrious

I'm happy.
