Does removing the deck gun actually improve performance,or is it a myth?

One thing that has always had me thinking,and still does,is the stories I have read about removing the deck gun.I know they removed them for real in an attempt to reduce drag and speed up dive times but is this modelled in the game? I dont know if some of you remove them just to maintain realism (even if the effects are not modelled) but I for one will be keeping my trusty ol deck gun.There is no finer moment than when pounding a lone merchant broadside to broadside on a dark night and have his light beam right on you!

Sorry if this topic may have been asked before,I simply cant remember and dont fancy sifting through what is likely to be 1000s of posts either.
