Deck Gun Crew Hopeless.

I started a new mission on a fresh install with WDAD activated plus I'm playing as a sub.

First mission encountered a couple of merchants, sank one but only damaged the other so surfaced to finish it off with the deck gun.
I was fairly close so instructed the crew to fire short range, they didn't understand that and were firing way to far, I had to let the enemy get far away for them to even get close to hitting it but still the shells were landing ahead of the ship.
I ran out of shells and the crew only hit it about 3 times, so it sailed off, and I quit the mission.

Was this an ability issue seeing as it was a fresh start or is it the fire and close range order not working?
