[AVGWarhawk]

There has been an ongoing discussion when it comes to the cannons. It concerned both SH3 and SH4. Some say you should be able to blast everything out of the water with the cannon like it was you main weapon. Other say it was just secondary and used very little to sink vessels. For the most part this is true. If we left the gun to be able to sink everything, you would be coming back to port with over 100,000 tons all the time. The gun is too stable, even on very rough seas. Basically, it is a huge disadvantage for the AI. But who cares about that. So, to counter act this, the shells are not as effective. This makes the player realize it is a secondary weapon and considers using the primary weapon, torpedoes. Personally, I would love to blast everything out of the water with the cannon. But lets face it, a huge ship would require a lot of rounds. It is the best answer at the moment to get a bit of realism concerning the cannon.
