Default Deck gunning troop transport


I just sunk a 8k BRT troop transport with my deckgun only as being out of torps and already on my way back to port.

It was the very early morning, calm see and clear weather.
But that ship looked really like a small merchant.
But then it started firing back with 3 deck guns at us. Just one hit.

But anyhow I decided not to dive but stay surface and bring some kilometers between us and the transport quickly.
Showing it our rear side it hadn't much stuff to aim for too.

Then we turned and started to head directly for it again at a distance of ~3000km.
So we gave it a really hard to hit target but the transport acted as a giant flare. So good for us.

After throwing half of our deck gun ammo at it it finally sank.

Quite risky that choice, I know. But in that case it seems as it was the right one.
Perhaps I should be a little more cautious in the future though .
