Is land artillery destroyable?

Well, they can be destroyed. I was with a Porpoise class on 1941 on Japanese waters, and I had already spent 4 torpedoes on a merchant. So I decided to wait for the night and sink it with my deck gun. So I carefully approach the ship, and try to aim for its rear deck gun. I fire, and I take it down. Of course, I was playing in stock game, 80% realism.

In summary, all guns in a warship or merchant (wether they are 1" or 16") can be destroyed.

If the 16" gun can be destroyed, something is wrong. Yes, they could be, but not by a 5" submarine deck gun.

'Must have been my poor writing. Well, they could be destroyed, but by another similar sized gun.

Ah, I see. Sorry about that.

This is good to know.
