Frustration at lack of damage

Hi all.

I currently have installed RSRDC phase II for RFB v241 with RFB 1.4 for ROW RC1 with various ROW mods for texture, lighting etc.

My gripe is, yet again, with the deck gun.
I totally crippled a Medium Modern Merchant, she was dead in the water, on fire badly and had sunk so that just the top of the main hull was visible.

I surfaced and began firing from around 1000 metres at the water-line (whilst taking fire from the merchants deck gun and flak guns).
I fired over 50 rounds with no effect what-so-ever, in the mean time, i took a good number of direct hits from her deck gun and flak cannons, i received no damage at all (no visible holes in the ship either).
*Note - This is a fresh campagn starting from the very first date that is available, i didnt think merchants were armed that early in the war?? or is that just the european theatre??*

I am very dissapointed with this, i have played stock with ROW for a while now and this problem does not occur at all!!

I know its rare for somebody to be dissapointed when you take a hit and dont get damaged but its not the point of the game is it. It takes the realism away which for me is the most important part of the sim.

Any comments out there??
