The Bofors 40mm on the pt boat is underappreciated.

I've taken down plenty of shore batteries with it.

"The installation of larger-bore cannons culminated in the fitting of the 40 mm Bofors gun[18] on the aft deck. Starting in mid-1943, the installation of this gun had an immediate positive effect on the firepower available from a PT boat. The Bofors cannon had a firing rate of 120 rounds per minute (using 4-round clips) and had a range of 5,420 yards (4,960 m)."

Bear69......does that look like the aimbot you claimed was being used?

Nice shooting. Love using the PT but apparently don't know all of it strengths. Be real kick bellybutton if it had a pair of drone like bombers have.

I don't aim at enemy planes, I put a stream in their path.    If they fly past, I point the gun much further in front and send things up at them.   

PT poat's main weakness is the highly visible wake.

If it can take a Shore Batt. it can take out a Cruiser.

I do that when I'm going for the CV/CA combo from a pt boat.   I send one torp for the CA and narrowly spread 3 for the CV and finish the CA off with the 40mm.

It does work.
