Deck gun vs. Cruiser

Alright so after my absurdities aboard the snapper my game locked up shortly after seeing the destroyer convention so i began again and got a new boat and mission. This time i ran into the invasion force going to the Philippines and managed to take out four passenger (troop) ships, a mogami cruiser ( which i crippled with one hit to the engines and had to swing back and finish her off. A lone destroyer trying to blend in and guard the cruiser (though at night he was about 6 clicks away and was easy to avoid,) then sink with one fish amidships as it had broken its back. I proceeded to chase the convoy which had begun to mill about in open water at around midnight. I nuck in and waited until i had a good shot on a maya cruiser, launch four torps (all slightly spread further apart) and hit one twice KO ing her , one missed, and one hit another maya cruiser starboard astern. This one hit full steam and ran like mad from the convoy. I gave chase underwater then flank speed on top when i was sure i wasnt being pursued.

I got in close, but with only one torpedo left i setup carefully and fired my aft tube and nailed her amidships.

She wont go down... she has a list of about 35 degrees but wont drop. Shes dead in the water.

I made the decision to save and try out deck gun rounds against her.

I manuvered to her port side, where her guns had no angle due to the heavy list and hit her point blank in her bottom when it rolls up.

No holes show up, and she doesnt appear to be taking anymore water on.

Also her aft machine guns can make an angle on me but only when she rolls to port enough to do so.

What should i actually be doing here?
