AA guns

Hi
In regards to the above, I have a couple of questions
1.Is it possible to sink a ship with AA guns, say a small split freighter?
2. Can you take out the crew of the deck gun on the ship with you AA?
3. Which is better for shooting at aircraft: the 20mm single or the twin 20mm?
Thanks

Hi!
1) I believe you can, but it'll take you a lot of time, a lot.
I sunk some small fishing boats and sampans with the 40. Mm aa gun.

2) no you can't, you can blow up some of the other crew on the ship with the deck gun but not the ones at the aa guns stations or the deck gun stations

3)it depends, the twin 20. Has a higher rate of fire than the single one, it does the same damage i believe but since you have two barrels if both the bullets hit it'll do twice the damage
Of course, since you fire two bullets per shot you' re gonna run out of ammos faster

Hope it was clear enough, if you have any questions let me know

Using the later AA guns 40mm, yes, you can sink a ship. The earlier single and double barrelled can sink fishing vessels but do percentage damage to shipping. After slowing a large cargo ship down with a torp, I opened fire with the 40mm and sank it. I dont let the crew fire it themselves, they are lousy shots! Same with the deck gun. They are very good at shooting aircraft down though.
