It might look odd, but for the pintle mounted ones, maybe just have the guns 'move down' and out of sight into the conning tower?
Any chances of mounting 50. cal guns on the 'sides'/walls of the 'tub', for use as secondary (AI controlled) firepower with a more limited firing arc?
If so, if there is not enough practical room to have the .50 calibers to be opposite of each other on either side of the tub, then perhaps one can be a bit more forward compared to the other. If they cannot be 'removed', then have them aim fore/aft, and either swing down to the inner side of the 'tub' or just move 'into' the conning tower, which might also work if not look odd.
On a related note, any way to adjust the speed of animations, to have gun move 'out of sight' at a very quick speed? Or are they basically 'slaved' to something with a fixed movement speed?
Any decisions if you might add AA turrets on the fore/aft top of the conning tower, like the German Type XXI U-Boats have?
If so, could have the barrels 'retract' when the sub dives. Could have either dual 20mm, dual 40mm, or perhaps something else, like a dual pair of over/under 20mm (basically a smaller version of the AA gun barrel setup of the Kraken AA gun, but the pairs closer together), quad .50 cal, 20mm gatling gun, dual .50 cal gatling guns, or some such stuff. Basically, anything that should hopefully be good for causing enemy pilots to reconsider being anywhere near the Interceptor sub.
The conning tower AA turrets could be the main AA guns, with the others such as pedestal mounted .50 cals being AI controlled.

I think I know of a way to do it, if all else fails I will animate them. It is fairly easy to do and yes I can adjust the time so that they quickly disappear from the deck. I don't plan on adding anymore guns than I already have for the sub. She's not supposed to be a powerhouse like the Titan.
------------------------------------
Here's some renders of the sub, she's almost fully modeled.
Rear Tubes
New AA guns
Caterpillar Drive front opening and Torpedo Tubes.
Caterpillar Drive compared to in game person.
