I counted 3-4 hits out of 100-200+ rounds. Seems that’s all it took to scratch those dinghys.
,,,,,, Russians love their vodka ,,, accuracy ,,,, who needs it ,,,, gimme another swig comrade.
Yeah, the accuracy wasn’t very good, but I loved the way they wouldn’t stop. If it had been us, we would’ve fired a few rounds across the bow, then paused to talk, then repeat, and repeat again. Then fire a few into the boat, then pause a long time while we continued talking, ad nauseum. But for the Russians, it was TAKE THAT!... AND THAT!... AND THAT!... TAKE THAT!... AND THAT!... AND THAT!... TAKE THAT!... AND THAT!... AND THAT!... until there was just a pile of burning splinters on the surface. Loved it.
Some of those rounds were going through the target, I’m sure. A flimsy fishing boat might not even detonate a cannon shell.
I was thinking the same thing. Were they whaling at the same time? ;-)
