I don't know what there is to be said here, what are they intended for? Medium range,
45deg angle, low rate of fire, 400 some damage? What's the point?

I've found only two real uses -
Destroying a particularly hazardous/obstructive mine before diving.
Finishing off an enemy with 50 health left.
'Spitting' on a battleship before they fire the killing blow. (Hah! Take that, fiend!)

How often do you even see mines? When are they actually a deadly dangerous threat?
How often is a ship so close to death that a deck gun even makes a difference?


(20mm flak are a different matter entirely, those suckers have chewed me to pieces
when I was in an unarmored light ship)
