Oh, I agree with you. The cannon gets castrated. It is too the point with me if it is not a sampan or junk, why bother. In all reality and this is if you are attempting to make it as real as possible, the cannon was not utilized all that much other than on sampan and junks. Occasionally the larger ship would get a taste. I did find myself just surfacing after missing with my torpedoes just a bit to often and using the cannon. I guess it is all in how you want to play. Overall, RFB is pretty good and I will take the weak cannon for all the other good qualities with the mod. Also, there is much work going on with the mod behind the curtain so stick with it. More to come
