In any case, I am am not convinced at all that this is the cause for the "pea" deck gun.
Are you making sure that all your hits (well, as many as possible) are below the waterline?

The reason I asked, is 'cause I've been wanting the deck gun toned *down*. I hit a European liner yesterday with four torpedoes, surfaced, and chased down a large passenger (can't remember the exact class). 6,000 tons, if I remember correctly, or thereabouts. I fired about fifteen to twenty shots, placing them along the length of her starboard side, then got the "enemy ship sunk" message. It took forever to sink.

I believe I heard that this is a result of NSM and the critical hit variable for each compartment... but it's kinda irritating. Why bother taking all this time to line up a torpedo salvo when I can simply surface and fire a few shells?
