I think it also depends on the direction they're traveling. Heading West They might be carrying something other than ammo, so no big boom. Traveling East or North towards GB I'd expect them to carry ammo and you'd see a "big badda boom".

I one sank a pryo with two deck gun rounds and another with three! The second one nearly killed me, as I had taken my boat a little too close!

Aim just forward of the aft deck house and you get a big BOOM!
