Evidence is what I need. So many people are willing to criticize, but without evidence the criticism is worse than useless. Heck, your message gives me nothing at all on which to base a change. How can I, in good conscience, adjust the deck gun to do what you want if you don't prove to me that what you want is realistic? I can't.

OK, but on what evidence did you adjust the gun to be as weak as it is now?
As it is, I fire ALL my deck gun ammo (HE + AP) on any ship larger than say 3000 tons and most of them don't even begin to smoke. That I think is simply too much. Is there any evidence of the submarine that fired 200+ shells on a target without even producing visible damage (let alone sinking)?
