German gunboat Schütze - why no artillery?

this boat is at 3.0 but has the same gun as the italien Baleno which is at 3.3. But the Baleno has 4 torpedos and can launch a artillery strike, so at least the Schütze should get the artillery modification.

Probably because they have different assigned roles. Iirc not all boats classes have access to artillery strikes. As for why it’s still placed at 3.0, idk, though it’s probably ok for that since it’s a wooden boat.

as artillery is simple no “real thing” but mostly a balancing item the Schütze should get it. As mentioned its a wooden boat, the baleno has a steel hull. From my pov the torpedoes should make the difference +0.3BR

In NAB maybe, in NRB no, though these torpedoes are 450 mm
