I just saw this post on the subsim archive which should help...
http://www.subsim.com/phpBB_archive1...ic.php?t=25624
The part at the bottom seems to be most relevant.
"""Most of the range dispersion data I have come across appears to be at "BattleRanges". For the data I have this usually works out to about 80% of maximum range. Therefore, I set the ElevationError and TransversalError entries in the *.ddf files as follows:
ElevationError = 0.192 ; Extremely tight range pattern - 1.5% of range at 80% maximum range
ElevationError = 0.321 ; Tight range pattern - 2.5% of range at 80% maximum range
ElevationError = 0.641 ; Average range pattern - 5% of range at 80% maximum range
ElevationError = 0.962 ; Large range pattern - 7.5% of range at 80% maximum range
Naval guns usually have very tight deflection patterns. For all guns I set:
TransversalError = 0.285---"""
To change the US 5"/38 gun go into Destroyer Command/Sim/Sytem and experiment and edit the file : GunUS.5inchSingle.ddf

Is there a mod that will make the US guns more effective in inflicting damage?
