Wants to INCREASE it????

Sheesh....Dick O'Kane makes mention of the fact that some crappy little 2-3000t freighters took about 80 4" rounds to sink....80!!!!

I sank an 18,000t liner with 22 rounds....ridiculous. I don'tuse the gun as it's so insanely overpowered.....could probably destroy Yamato with 30 hits!!!

In fact the gun is a more reliable ship killer than the torps at present....

Actually, I have been thinking of it as the "High Incendiary Ship Vaporizing Fountain of Destruction" - but to each his own.

Are you using impact or magnetic warheads in the StarShell fuses?

That image above makes me think of this little guy:

50 Shells!?

Where are you aiming?

I use about 10 AP rounds and 15-20 HE rounds; Mind you I only aim for the waterline, and a naval gun if it's onboord.

Put all your AP rounds around the smoke stack section of the Merchant, then put your HE rounds in the same area to further open those holes.

I invented super deck guns once but they were too powerful i could take out a whole carrier division with one hit

Hi all,

I usually leave the crew to the deck gunning, ride on the surface at night in the middle of the two euro liner convoys that are usually in the mouth of Tokyo bay, let em run I say, Keith and Jimmy, seem to have an easier time killing things at long range...

With Regards,

Krauter
