No worries mate. You were not rude and I did realise from the way you were writting that there was a missunderstanding. Everything is Ok. I do know that text base discussions can be tricky, so all is fine

Now again, I'm not trying to attack anyone, and I'm not even saying this is wrong. I'm just looking for an explanation as to why it is this way for clarification. As I understand things, this would be wrong, but I'm sure I clearly don't understand something. I appreciate everyone's comments and suggestions as to why it is this way, however so far I don't believe anyone has hit on the answer. Since as I said I was not moving, neither was the target.

Ok if that's what is happening then you probably have a case. I'm at work right now and I cannot check the deck gun effects but I will try to have a look at it when I go home tonight. From what I understand the way the gun is firing while you're moving is correct. Don't forget the sub's deck gun has no targeting computer. It's a simple aim and fire weapon, so the optics cannot compencate for the boat's movement. If I remember correctly the only gadget the deck gun had was a gyroscopic base and optics to help targeting and firing. With respect to the optics they just had a simple magnification lence (or similar) and nothing else. In any case I'll look into it tonight and let you know.
