Its more a feeling of how effective your fire was. a "hit" does not represent X killed crew as an 8inch hit may well kill more than a 25 pounder one. Lots of hits usually means more damage and a battery that will remain out of operation for longer. There may well be no kills - just a morale result putting it into retreat for a time, the more so for less "enthusiastic" crews.

C/B fire is merely an abstraction - so more "hits" is really just an indication that you have done particularly well. However if there is a gun killed or battery destroyed message then you have achieved a notable result.
