The deck gun is a very underrated weapon and I find that it is best used to either attack lone ships or finish off ships after a torp attack.
All I would like is some more deck gun ammo. There must have been space somewhere in a sub for a few hundred extra rounds

On an unarmored vessel HE doesnt need AP to makes holes for it, HE should do a vastly superior job of opening large holes on a merchant compared to an AP round.
AP is like a sniper round, it can quickly disable systems if it hits in the right place and essentially kill the ship...but not neccesarily sink it which is the objective. HE is like a shot-gun, not very precise but spreads the damage around so much it litterally tears the ship apart causing structural failure which leads to the ship sinking much faster...even though its systems and propulsion may still be intact and functioning.
