It's always better to do a stealth approach at periscope depth,and to perform a precise torpedo attack.
Bingo!

For these reasons you state above, the old debate about deck gun rate of fire is pointless!

What should happen if we have properly approximated the evolution of the U-boat war... is that it becomes inadviseable to use the deck gun... and demonstrates the reason why they were omitted from U-boats as the war progressed... but at the same time allow the player to retain the freedom to keep and use it... at his own risk.
