You're welcome, but the thanks really go to Sergei who pointed out the relevant section of the basic.cfg file in the other thread. Someone had noted that the stock game was hardcoded to have the crew load AP ammo first when they manned the gun, and since GWX removed the AP ammo from the deck gun loadouts on the basis of historical accuracy, the crew would just stand around waiting to load ammo that wasn't there. I didn't know this, I always just assumed it was some unfixable stock bug that couldn't be avoided. But I figured if GWX took that ammo out, maybe it could be put back in, just as a workaround, without compromising historical accuracy all that much.
That's why I only added one round of AP, since in theory that's all it should take to get the party started automatically. I too find it very annoying to order "Feuer frei" and have nothing happen because the crew is waiting for me to climb down there myself and show them what ammo we DO have.
