Default Removing Deck Gun via SH3C

If I use SH3C to remove the deck gun do I receive any performance gain? eg. increased submerged speed.

Thank you,

M

No. But for no other reason than no-one could confirm with reliable information what the performance enhancement, if any, would actually be.

Hi mate,

May be a stupid question from me but why remove the deck gun?

80% of my kills are with the deck gun.

Because it was done so in reality, due to the ever increasing presence of escorts and aircraft?

If 80% of your kills are with the deck gun, you're probably using the default values, which are WAY overpowerd in comparison to reality.

Are yes stock SH3 I must admit I had a field day with the deck gun.

But not anymore in GWX.

And in reality deck guns were phased out by 1943.

It was nice at the beginning of the war but now that I'm in 1942 in GWX I find that I rarely ever get a chance to use it anymore. 99% of merchants are in well protected convoys and are usually armed themselves.

To me an extra knot of submerged speed or perhaps one second off my dive time would be of greater value than a chunk of steel that serves no purpose bolted to my deck.

Even without this benefit (which I now know I don't receive) I might remove it just to keep up with historical accuracy.
