I was wondering why my damn deck gun wouldn't work

Yeah manual navigation is a different ball game but i adapted Dantenocs method a bit, like using ctrl click when land is on sight because they used coastal navigation to fix their position and i also ctrl any time the weather permits, only dead reckoning when there is no sun or stars on the sky.

sure its not just bernard that has messed around with the deck gun ?:rotfl:

You know what they say.....

"If it ain't rainin', we ain't trainin'!"

nope actually i dont:hmm:
lol:rotfl:

that sucks

In 43-45 you will learn to like Rain and Storms a *lot*
 

With Allied ASW at it's peak, the only time in GWX where I can safely approach a convoy with Destroyer escort in shallow waters is if there is a good storm going on.

I'm all for clear skies and night time attacks, but radar makes it really brutal to snorkel or operate near convoys later in the war, and calm water gives the enemies Sonar a definite boost in hearing you.

But with rough seas and rain you can approach to within 500 meters of a destroyer (engine stopped, running silent @ periscope depth and they won't even know you are there (just a hole in the water)

You will learn to appreciate a good storm the next you need to operate in BF12, BF13, BF14, or lurking a few hundred kilometers west of Gibraltar trying to sink some tonnage on your way down to southern Brazil or Africa..
