Don't know why you think having star shells on board is not realistic. GWX designers didn't put SS in their mod because they couldn't find any reference to any boats carrying them. However, several months ago a few references were cited in this forum, of subs carrying SS IRL. So, some boats had SS on board on some trips, others did not. We don't have enough data to say much more regarding timelines or frequency.

Different boats used different loads. Some carried only AA shells for their deck gun. Some carried AP or SAP. Most had some HE.

Sorry, cannot help re shells in lockers not being loadable.
