Be careful what you wish for. TMO has historical deck gun effectiveness. It takes over a hundred hits to sink a 3000 ton freighter. Empty tankers? Forget it. You might as well fart in their general direction.
You will not be building the submarine version of the battleship Yamato there. Your deck guns will be little more than pretty decorations. They're for shooting sampans and other targets not worthy of a torpedo. And that's why this "impressive" configuration vanished from later submarines. It was not useful. |
It's an impressive configuration when you use my experimental Deckguns! 15 shot/clip, 55 RPM, same reload rate. It's a theoretical design based on the Bofors 40mm AA gun - except that the Experimental Deck Gun loads from the bottom and ejects the shell on each shot.
SUPER EFFECTIVE with AP rounds at the waterline of any merchant ship. =p
