No deck gun ammo!!!!
 

During my last patrol (8), I had fired a fish or two into a merchant. I then proceeded to surface my boat. Since the weather was on the calm side (very, very rare in the 8 patrols so far), I decided to let my deck gun fire for the 1st time ever!! I ordered men on deck, selected fire a water line, short range, & finally fire at will. It didn't take long to figure out that something wasn't right. My deck gun wasn't firing!!! After repeating the orders again, still nothing. Then I realized that I had no deck gun shells!!!! How can I have no deck gun shells; It's the 1st time in 8 patrols that I have decent weather to permit my deck gun crew to be able to get on deck to be able to fire the deck gun and when they do, I have no shells!!! :damn: Where did all of the shells go to?


Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Let me guess, u playing GWX?

Go to the Gunners position and click on the shell to load the first round.;)

You only have to do it for every patrol.

if there is an ammo shell stood up on screen - over on the right, click on it to activate. the loading line will proceed to fill. once filled, it's ready to fire.

if you are using sh3 commander - do you have sabotague/malfunctions enabled.

are your gunners trained up?

fill the green bar above them.


can't think of anything else,

hope this helps

think Danlisa piped me at the post

Ahh!!!

I never knew you actually had to load it!!!!

Yes, I'm using GWX

Thanks Guys!!!

I try it out !!!!!

Side Note: If I remember, both numbers on each side of the upright standing shell were zero!!

I feel for ya bud. I have been in a similar spot before.

Good luck! :up:

Anyway, as I play with SH3commander and malfunctions and sabotage on I'll make a full trial of all vital boat functions during every patrol as soon as I leave the dock.
This includes also a practise shot with all my guns.
I don't check the fire command of my torpedos, but that's the ONLY test I leave out. I even open and close the doors.

I don't trust any harbor worker :arrgh!:

Yeah! In my harbor, there were alot of guys named Tony and Piper and Gordon and Ramsey...
