Question About manning guns

[U777]

Think of your shells as 20 free torpedoes. If you are blessed with good weather and unarmed lone targets, you can easily bring down 80K-100K just with shells.

That's why I make heavy use of the deck gun if weather and combat conditions permit it. (Career is in early 1940). Its also useful for trawlers and other vessels that are not worth a torpedo.

If things go my way torpedoes are used when all shells are expended.
