Surely a torp will be a waste for that, but the fun of seeing the small boat vaporizing is priceless

I've done that a couple times in SH4 with the sampans. Those things can fly when hit with a torp.

Ahhh sampans. I remember them best from SH I. Those were the times where you could aim the deck gun on a bunch of pixels pretending to be a boat. Those were fun kills back then

Oh yes, they can. In fact, I use the large AA gun on my Type IX as a backup to my deck gun when I run out of ammo.

Early in the war if I can wipe out a convoy's escorts and the rest of the ships have no guns, I can and have wiped out every ship in the convoy using every scrap of ammo on the boat, including the AA guns.
