Well, as I said, except for what was essentially a fixed bearing, it was impossible to fire on the far side except blindly at max elevation. The tiny fixed bearing without this problem was considered of so little utility that it wasn't worth doing. Lots of work for having only momentarily, if any, use in an engagement.
