[REL] Critical hits for deck gun

I like the idea of mods that make things more fun, even though I am a reality freak. But I do have to take exception with the idea that it being easier is reality.

Not even remotely true. Smaller ships could go down with one or two torpedoes, but the records are full of acount's of the "coup de gras", because the ship refused to sink.

Here is a tanker that took two torpedoes and eighty-seven rounds from the deck gun.

Look through these lists. You will find that two or even three torpedoes was the norm, and nowhere will you find a ship blowing up from a lucky hit from a u-boat's deck gun.
