You can sink small vessels with the 37.

If you're running any of the supermods, I believe trying to use a flak gun on ships would be about as useful as shooting spitwads at them. And as others have mentioned, after about mid 42 when everything is armed (albeit with dumb and blind gunners) and planes are more of a worry, the deck gun becomes pretty much useless.

I agree with the dumb and blind gunners on Merchants with exception to the last altercation I had with a Liberty Cargo Gunner.. man, could he shoot.. he was hitting me everytime ! It was a case of 'Men, forget about manning the ornament..I mean, heavy flak gun.. DDDDDIIIIIVVVVVEEEEE !!!!!'

It all comes down to the experience level of the merchant crew. Vetran and expert crews will shoot you up bad. Bewbies will fire wildly in every direction but yours. Later years mean more vetrans and experts, early years most of the merchat gunners are either asleep or crosseyed.
