Getting back on those mean destroyers...

On my last patrol I spotted a Town-class DD about 4km away from my boat. Since I had just promoted my deck gun crew I decided to give it a shot (pun intended) and let them fire away on the destroyer which was closing in on me. To my big surprise the very first shot landed directly on the Town's turret and caused a massive explosion. Soon afterwards the ship's bow slipped under the waves, there were some secondary explosions and the whole DD dissapeared. If only it was that simple all the time...
I was playing GWX with 80% realism by the way.
Guess this tactic is no use against the more modern and heavily armed subhunters...
What kind of successes did you guys have against escorts with the deckgun?
