Hi, another newbie question, how do you load different types of shells for your deck gun, I know once at sea you click on the appropriate shell you wish to load, but my uboat always seems to only carry high explosive ones, I realise I have probably missed something very simple like an option to load different shells whilst in port, but, for the life of me I can't find the answer and believe me I have looked. Any help would be much appreciated.

You will have to input some changes to your Basic.cfg file".
Here you can read Mush Martin's post how do do this:

And remember:
AA - anti aircaft shells
HE - high explosive shells
AP - armour piercing shells
SS - star (illumination) shells

Have you installed GWX or any mods? In GWX you have HE shells only (as per RL)

Otherwise there is no interface to change the configuration of HE/AP/Star shells in the stock SH3. You have to mod the config files to change that.

That's probably your answer :arrgh!:
