I do not need to be convinced about gun effectiveness, I just want to now differences in effectiveness between all 3 calibers.

3" is a very weak weapon. It was originally designed as an AA gun during WWI. Best used to finish off cripples.
4" has about a 50% increase in performance over the 3". Takes about 25 good hits along the waterline of the 1800-ton Japanese freighter to sink it. Again, though, mainly used to finish off cripples (sense a pattern here?

). The German 105mm deck gun shares the same shell data as the 4". (4" = 101mm).
5" is about 50% more powerful than 4".
These are the rough values for the current release. Shell values are being tweaked and adjusted already for the next RFB release.
