Removing the Deck Gun

[ddiplock]

Does removing the deck gun via SH3 Cmdr give any advantage to your uboat in terms of underwater speed?? Does it allow you to squeeze an extra knot or so of speed out of the boat when travelling submerged?

And a second point, in GWX Gold have the way medals been awarded to Kaleuns changed?? I've sunk some 52,000 tonnes of enemy shipping and only recieved the bronze clasp....i'm sure I remember always getting an Iron cross around that limit, either that or i'm just being stupid :salute:

Cheers guys :)

No...sadly subtleties like that weren't coded into the sim. Once a U-Boat's configuration characteristics are set they remain that way no matter what you add or remove topside in the course of the game.

Speaking of the gun, I recently started a new career in 1943, Type VIIC. On my 3rd of 4th patrol I crippled a small merchant. She left dead in the water and I decided to finish her with the deck gun.

I tried to give order to man the gun, but the icon was grayed out (in calm weather) :hmm2: . I presses F10 key but nothing happened... :hmmm:

Then I looked with the external camera and, to my big surprise, I noticed that I don't even have a deck gun. :rotfl:
