how many rounds, I am out on patrol in late '39 and I only use the gun on stuff that is less than 2000t. We sunk a Pelagic 850t with about 6 well placed rounds.

I am using GWX 2.0.

If you aim for the waterline you can sink them without using too much ammo.

Heh, that'll teach me to be cocky - was busy shelling another cargo and a destroyer came steaming in from nowhere. Nearly got Depth charged to death but managed to sneak away...

...good shooting!

That is a pretty good return for 25 rounds from the old 88.

I just do not have the patience to do that on the large stuff. Plus even in late '39 we had some unexpected company show up to drop some DC/Bombs on us as we were chasing down a MED CARGO, in broad daylight, East of SCAPA.

GWX 2.0 is just too good!
