making SH4 more realistic and challenging pt 1: deck gun kills

Player deck gun power and effectivness can be diminished by increasing the reload time, lowering the min/max damge on shells. (and even increasing the error angle if you dont mind the side effects)

Getting enemy ships that are being shelled to shoot back is a matter of visual detection, which since patch 1.2, seems to be worse then it was before.

I thought this was already in RFB so I didn't mention it, but you are right that definitely makes it better.

I don't think the AI is getting the proper detection bonus when I am firing the gun. The muzzle flash should be visible from a great distance.

I'm very dissatisfied with the AI in responding to attacks also. I shelled a huge passanger liner with a S-boat. The liner could easily have outrun me but instead chose to maintain its original speed (and course!) and aquiesced to being sunk. I don't think this sort of thing has been addressed in a mod yet.
