Recommended...due to ship class consistency. IF BB and CV or CA can, why not SS.
As to whether I would remove my guns? I would not, unless I could net 3-5 more knots of speed. Probably unlikely, since Deck guns are pretty small anyway.
Personally, I would rather see ALL ships carry appropriate guns, instead of allowing 60-knot Moltke/Mandels to run hog-wild with PHH Cluster bombs, blasting everything in sight.
I can't understand why most submariners DO NOT use their deck guns??? I can't count how many smoking heaps have been polished off. Just last night, I obliterated two squadrons of US T4s with my AA U-Flak guns. Best AA guns available on ANY ship. Time after time, I have watched as helpless subs try to fend off some DD. If they just surfaced and spun their guns at them, that DD would be toast. But with a repairman instead...it's a losing setup.
Consistency gets my approval. Either all or none, not SS only.
