Righto - worked like a charm - swapped out to an S-boat and Voila! 4" gun to play with.
AND MAN IS THIS AWESOME!!!!
It worked incredibly well with the 4" gun files - I tried it at both zoom levels and on all 3 boats (1.000, 2,000 and 3,000 yard ranges). In 8m/s winds, the boat and the gun were rolling pretty dramatically, and I really had to pay attention to when I fired in order to get any hits, but if I managed to fire at the right point, as the horizontal crosshair was on the horizon, I could pretty consistently hit all 3 of the targets when elevation was set to their known/fixed range. Had plenty of misses though, due to bad timing, and I'm sure it will be worse in real game conditions when both sub and target are moving and you don't really know the exact range to target like I did in my test.
As you can see from the screenshots below, there was a pretty incredible amount of swing up and down in high zoom at 3,000 yards in such heavy seas (probably as bad as you would reasonably be able to use the gun at any rate):

Now - if you can get the 3" gun fixed like this, I think you can declare victory and sit back and bask in the glory
