Deck Gun issue?

Frame57 · 12-15-08, 12:13 PM

OK, I upgraded to a Gato class when it was offered. In the weapons upgrade while in port I see that both stern and bow 4 inch guns are available for about 500 renown. I already have a stern gun in place (3 inch). I select the 4 inch for the bow and everything seemed fine. The gun was indeed now on the bow. However, when I encountered a huge european liner I like to catch them with the guns, so I order the gun manned and nothing happens, I check my crew roster and there is no more crew for the deck gun, nor a slot for them. WTFO? Manning the gun myself I found that it does not re-load very well now either, so when i get back to port I put the stern gun back in place hoping that my crew would return, but no... So I just started over at a previous save. Anyone else have an issue with moving the guns from stern to bow? The game does not seem to like it. I have 1.5 installed.

You replaced the fore deck gun with an aft deck gun without swapping the crew out, or vice versa.

I had that happen with me.

Get back into base and replace the deckgun where it used to be, the crew will come back, unassign them, switch the deckgun and put the crew back on it.

Just one of many bugs still prevalent, it does it to me too. I had two really great gunners on a Sargo, got a Gato and selected forward gun and lost them both.
