just something you have to get used to and expect to miss a lot.
Which means you guys must get closer to your targets. BWAHAHAHAHahaaaa!
All due respect, Herr Kapitan, if my deck gun guys are missing a large merchant at less than 750m, on calm seas at midafternoon, I'm putting them in the torpedo tubes, where at least they can serve SOME purpose. At 500m, if they can't put an 88 through a porthole in similar conditions, I'm getting them a K.98 and putting them ashore... in Scapa.

Just cause you're Darth Vader doesn't mean we need to be saddled with the Stormtrooper School of Accuracy rejects.
