Default Two Deck Guns!

On my latest refit at Midway on Jan. 5, 1945 I was offered a 2nd 5.5" deck gun (Surprise!). I took the 2nd gun with glee, thinking how much damage I could do to an unarmed troopship. Both guns fire just fine, with the aft gun manned by my two-person crew, supposedly, but I had to man the fore gun myself. I had the guns marked "manned" , the crew at Battle Stations, and gave the order to fire at will. The crew did fire the aft gun. However, I found the load rate for both guns was atrociously slow, the same as if I were manning the single gun by myself. Both guns fired at about the same interval, meaning the aft gun with two crewman in place was no faster than me. Adding the 2nd gun does not increase the crew complement. There is no slot for a 2nd gun crew. Perhaps this is the problem?

I'm hoping this is being addressed in v.054 or v.055, yes? Thanks!
