Yeah, waveheight effects premature chance. Calm sea is 40% and rough sea is 75% IIRC.

RE the lack of contacts, you out of pear or the asiatic fleet? I find that just sailing up the java see is good for at least 4 single merchants.

Sure I use the deck gun. I do use it intelligently though. If I see that a ship is a threat to me on the surface, well then, I don't surface. I *don't* put my boat at an unnecessary level of risk ever. I think it's the large modern composite that has 2 large caliber deck guns and several 20-30mm cannons, so I don't go near those. However, I do not hesitate to attack a ship with light armament with my deck gun. I just stay out of the range of their 20/30mm cannons and machine guns (which is a rather optimistic 3,000 yards or so) and rip them up.

In other words I almost never take fire from a surface engagement. The one time I got chewed up in that career was a bad surface engagement though. I kinda zoned and forgot that he had deck guns when I made that decision...

Find how many vessels were sunk by deck gun by these submarines. Remove Sampans from that list or other small fishing boats. Over all, the cannon was a defense weapon and not an offensive weapon. Later on it became offensive. I think this were you are getting tonnage were tonnage is not due. In my pixel world opinion.
