Is possible set Beaufighter's for strafe ships?

It is also possible (and was already pre-Tobruk) to sink a Minensuchboot, using the cannons. You have to hit the gun on the forecastle. That means if you ever get close enough to shoot, which happens about 1 time in 100 attempts.I am testing what ships can be destroyed by Beaufighter cannons - with Attack Target waypoint.

I always found it strange that it is possible to sink a (small) warship, but not one of the smaller freighters or tankers.
110s can sink vospers
Well, make mission with Beau attacking ships result no fun.
They don't strafe.
Beau 1C can drop bombs, but AI drop a bit high and miss most time.
The only thing positive is that if you have two ships and set one as target the AI wingman's divide for attack both.

The only thing I was able to destroy of the freighters is their AAA guns - the 30mm, the 20mm(?) seems more "bullet proof".
Apparently those ships have a "cloack" over the hull, see where cannons shells are exploding.
I put some (static) fuel truck over the ship - adjusting their vertical height; where AI are shooting, and so far they are not able to blow any.
Ahhhhh, a thing that could be done "in 2 minutes", take hours and hours of trial, for achieve a so so result.
The large freighters should not be destroyable with these cannon. You can't expect to sink a 10,000 ton vessel with small caliber cannon.
The small coastal freighter can be destroyed as can the E-Boat/Vosper, the various other small boats and sometimes the Minensuchboote.
