Gun Placement Anomaly
After refusing a Desk job on 2/16/43 and retaining command of USS Salmon (at some cost to renown) I went back on patrol duty. Received a conning tower refit on 4/23/43 to add a 2nd AA gun - deck gun unchanged at 3.5" Stern mount.
On 5/26/43 took command of USS Sealion (Sargo Class) which has only one AA gun, but offers an upgraded Deck gun to 4.5". The problem is the new gun is a BOW mount only, whereas the 3.5" Deck gun is a STERN mount. Continuing patrol endings also only offer the bow mounted 4.5" gun. I did not take that upgrade because of possible placement issues.
Given that someone is looking into deck gun placements I thought it worthy to point this one out. I'd rather not tempt the Sea Gods by taking the upgrade for fear of losing crew slots, etc.
Just one more thing on your Job Jar list, guys.
Thanks!
