XXI U-Boat AA Gun Issue

[davidk1973]

Hello,

I'm new here and I have a problem that I hope someone can help me with. I have the latest patch v1.4 and have included several mods in my SHIII game. One of the mods I implemented gave me the opportunity to gain access to the best sub in the fleet, the XXI, before you really able to get it. The problem that I'm encountering is that my anti-aircraft gun on the XXI isn't working. I can view it on the deck and actually "sit in it" but I can't put any personal in it or arm it. I'm getting into some heavy duty missions that require me to fight off airplanes all the time and I really can't defend myself except to dive and try to avoid the depth charges. However, I can't stay down that long or my battery loses it power. I'm not sure if one of the mods I used is "bad" or if this is some sort of "bug" in the game. I like this sub a lot and would like to continue to use it, but without any AA guns working, it makes it tough to defend myself against airplanes. Any help would be much appreciated.

Could be the mod gave you the sub early, but not some of it's specialized equipment like the guns.

I can't think of any reason you would need to fight planes in the Type XXI. The snorkel should give you the margin to avoid aircraft.

indeed. you shouldnt be fighting airplanes in an XXI. You can move faster, more quiet, and more stealthly then u can in any other boat. Stay submerged throughout your mission at schnorkel depth.
