The chance of not getting a hit is 5/6 = .833
The chance of not getting a hit with 2 PDS is 25/36 = .694
With 3 PDS, 125/216 = .578
For 4 PDS, 625/1296 = .482

So a reasonable number of PDS means you have a pretty fair
chance of killing the strikeboat, using PDS which are presumably
not occupied with anything more interesting and therefore a
"free" shot.
