Deckgun versus aircraft

Interestingly the 5in. 25 cal deck gun has AA ammo to no apparent effect. The traverse of the gun (vertically) sucks. I will have to do some research and see if the Fleet boats actually had this weapon as it is in the game or if the game got it wrong.

Of course they had the 5"/25 gun. The way it is modeled is correct for the submarine version of the weapon. What they did not have was AA ammo - that was reserved for the 5"/25s used on surface ships.
