Sinking ships w/ the flak gun realistic?

S! all you fellow skippers.

Done this a couple of times already, i.e. have shot my last eel at a small freighter and then finished her off with the 20mm gun. Takes some ammo and time, but invariably ends in the bugger exploding spectacularly and sinking. And all this seemingly regardless of what she carries, so say an ore carrier seems to succumb just as well as an ammo freighter.

Now I'm just wondering whether you could really do this, the 20mm being a rather small-calibre weapon and everything... Well, what do you guys think, would this be possible IRL?

And mind you, this is not a gripe. Us enquiring GWX 2.0-using geezers just want to know, that's all
