With the new damage model in GWX, the target has often taken critical damage much earlier...maybe after as few as 5 or 6 waterline hits... and will sink if given enough time.

Have given up trying to fire the gun myself, now delegate this to 1WO and the gun crew. I just concentrate on observing the results and steering the vessel into a reasonable range - 1000/1500 metres seems OK. If the target shows any signs of slowing, listing, or settling down at bow or stern, I instruct WO to cease fire. Then change to another target (if one is in range) or go after it if isn't.

This works just fine and I never fail to sink all 5 targets...sometimes with as many as 40 (or more), shells left in the magazine,
Reece I think from the symptoms your doing everything right
it just seems like you havent clicked on the ammo icon like they said.
you should be working
