This is a good point that Heibges is making. (effective range vs maximum range) Deck guns could certainly shoot farther than 1100... as you can in GWX... but good luck hitting much of anything beyond that range with any sort of accuracy if you are playing realistically and letting your crew do the shooting.

U-boat captains did not personally man the guns.

In GWX, if the player mans the deck gun personally... all the work done to destabilize said deck gun is temporarily disabled.

All guns, both friendly and enemy, have been 'destabilized' in GWX to remove the uber-accuracy of stock SH3.

That being said however, surface ships are always a more stable firing platform than are submarines. It is a simple matter of the differences in hull design.
