Can you silence a ship's defensive fire ?

Maybe you came across an old-fashioned Q-ship.

I surfaced a gunned a little wooden patrol boat that looked like an open whaling boat from the days of yore with a pilot house. I can't recall what it is exactly without looking in game but with RFB & RSRDC as my mods I think it's the smallest patrol craft they have.

Anyway, it has a DC rack & two deck guns & I hit it probably a little over 100 times from 2k - 3k yards. Aside from the fact that it never sunk completely & was still motoring along; albeit slowly, the guys were still at their guns & pointing them my direction even though they would have needed scuba gear to engage

So I wouldn't bet money on being able to knock out the enemies defensive guns even if yours are vulnerable to a gull

You're not going to kill the gunners with TMO. You can get a direct hit under a gun with a torp and kill all those walking around, but you won't touch the gunners.
