Does removing the deck gun actually improve performance,or is it a myth?

I've never played far enough to have that option. As far as I know there is no effect at all, just as there are no thermal layers.

Shame there are no therman layers Steve,it could have added an interesting tactical potential to the game.

@Vendor,I will probably keep the gun myself,no fun in using torpedoes ALL the time,its always nice to put them German helmets on and give em hell with the gun!
By the way,I like the quote in your signature,I live my life with the very same concept in my mind every day.

I think Commander does a good job of simulating them due to its Random function, but again I've never played enough to notice.

Removing the deck gun gives no improvements in performance.

The job Commander does is really quite spectacular at times...instead of going to extreme depth as of the norm I've occasionally evaded a hunter on the next patrol in 100 metres or less.

In RL a lot of captains DID in fact opt to remove their deck guns especially as air attacks were becoming more frequent and more dangerous,giving them precious seconds to get the UBoat under as fast as possible.

Air attack = bad news,big time!
