From lets say, 1939 to mid 1940. Couple of short patrols. Yes, not having the deck gun is a bit annoying.

beginning of war is ideal for deckgun. That is why I want it.

Would be nice to sink a battleship, cruiser, or aircraft carrier, or big merchant ships with a type II.

I want to make the 5 torpedoes i have, really count.
But sometimes it takes a bit of time, to encounter big targets. I even spotted some merchants, but small tankers/freighters. around 1000-1500 tons.
I actually ignored them. But then i was thinking... It doesn't make sense to just ignore the enemy haha. Even when you see a small target, you have to sink it. Thats why the deckgun comes in handy, but the type II doesn't have that.

yeah, I sink small ships too - with deckgun and flak. Torpedoes are great for bigger targets and for DDs.

yes, 22 torpedoes. I love to have so many torpedoes.
Definitely more than 22 ships with that deckgun and heavy flak
