Anyone able to get the deck gun in the bow of the Tambor?
 

My crew refuse to mount it.:damn: I guess I will move aft when I reach port, but this is annoying.

I usually start my campaigns in a tambor and always mount a 4" in the front at the start - never had a problem yet. Have you tried at the beginning of a campaign? If it fails there I would look at either mod conflicts - or do a clean reinstall and try agian.

This is a clean reinstall of SH4 patched to 1.2 (three days old, did a complete reinstall of Windows), and I only activate mods with JSGME. Right now I have:

-Beerys cameramod 4
-GreenLamp
-Ultimate SH4 soundpack
-Realistic battery life
-Smaller seabed rocks


Dont see why any of these would bother my Tambor, so ...

Whats your problem?
Can't you install the deck gun or does your crew not man the deck gun while on patrol?
If the last it's maybe the weather?
I noticed, that sometimes the crew is very afraid of getting wet... can you handle the gun manually?

The gun is there allright, but when I got back from patrol I moved it aft, and went out again, and now they wont man the gun there either, but I can fire it.:huh:

This happened from one patrol to another, without mods or anything in between.

Here is why they are not mounting it, there are no slots!

This is a known issue. I believe what you have to do is move the gun where you want it while in port, and then immediately go into the crew section and man it-fill all slots with crew. This should keep the slots enabled and let your crew man it while at sea. This has worked for me and I had the exact same problem.

Okay, thanks! Will have a go next patrol.:up:

Interesting never seen that one before and at this minute I am sailing a Tambor, shame about me using the AA guns but I know it's not a bug that's how they were. Looks like my jolly crew get all the fun shooting planes down. :lol: ;)

You can CHOOSE to have the thing bow or aft??????

Sure can! (In the upgrade menu)

there you go, you can teach a moron new tricks, huh?

:rotfl:

Anyway, the move-men-into-the-slots-in-port-trick, didnt work, as there were no slots there either. (Didnt help to change gun or anything)

But I got my mits on a new sub, so now I made sure there were men there when I changed the gun.

I have a strange one to report, today I started a new career in a Gar sub and saw it had a stern deck gun so I checked the crew gun slots were filled and they were so I bought a bow deck gun. The crew in the gun slots were moved to the damage team slots and no deck gun slots along with no deck gun. :-?

I think it works if you FIRST move the gun, and then put the men in the slots. Stupid bug, anyhow.
