Another one reporting for duty here 
I edited the gun files for almost every ship i've done so far, changing range is a one minute job.
Accuracy isn't in the gun files but in a cfg file somewhere

Weird things those raiders.. strong enough to sink a cruiser but too weak to destroy a merchant without being sunk itself... |
In an era when most merchant ships were no more than 450-500 feet long there was very little space to install high-powered machinery. Without large, powerful engines there was no way for a merchant to achieve a reasonable speed while carrying enough armor to protect itself from heavy shells. If/when I play this mod I am going to try and engage armed merchantmen at a distance. If a convoy is escorted by anything larger than a corvette, I will probably leave it alone. |
You can take on a single DD, may even two. My best was a Cleveland that I heavily damaged and it sank later, but I sank 45nm out of Surabaya
I recommend: either one DD, 2 DE's and 3 Corvettes
