Once again, edit not working.

I was gonna add to the last test, measure the time to expends the rounds as well.

The 6,834 ton Alcoa guide sunk with 27 shells.

The 1,885 ton Catherine sunk with 12 in high seas U47 fired 113 rounds but only hit the ship 12 times. Range was not given.

The 1,018 ton Vistula sank after 14 shells.

The above list is from shelling only. No torpedoes.

Tater,

I went in the sub school and sank the 10,000 ton tanker in convoy with 30 shells. On the 30 th hit she exploded.

The campaign game would be a better way to test this I think.

I've been finishing off unarmed (and sometimes armed---3 purple hearts and a fatality on my last patrol) ships with guns lately in RFB/RSRDC partially to test the complaints.

I guess I'm just not seeing the problem. I've fired at 4-5 ships, one a converted merchant gunboat (Aux Gunboat in RSRDC). I probably fired 150 rounds between all of them, with a fair % of those missing. All 4 sank, and 3 of the 4 were hit by only 1 fish, and were making way when I stopped them with gunfire. The 4th would have likely sunk anyway in time (hit by 2 fish, foundering), but I gave the gun crew soime practice

Last gun attack, as I came too far forward, and unseen 25mm gun was unmasked and swept my bridge (at like 300 yards) killing the OOD outright, and wounding 3 others.
