An unmolested medium frighter is a bit different. I can only recall one historical souce, and it took (IIRC) about 90 shots from the deck gun for a 1500 tonner. However, that was accomplished in about 15 minutes.

The Deck Guns in Stock are too powerful. I play a roughly stock version (no RFB) and I've taken medium freighters out with between 30-45 shots, depending on where those shots landed.
To topic creator: As I said I play a roughly stock game, don't know if this applies towards RFB but I seem to have better luck with AP rounds below the water line 10-12 confirmed hits, then another10-12 HE rounds into the boiler or command deck.
