I had a

"Cannot use deck gun weather too rough" Report yesterday,
we all know you can use DG regardless of weather, but it seems this report is spoken when trying to issue command to man/fire deck gun, while the gun is completely submerged by for example a tall wave.

Im no programmer, but it seems a call is made to see if decgun is submerged before allowing AI to use it. This seems to happen in real time, as the gunners will stop for a second if a huge wave rolls over them and continue when the wave is past.

Perhaps a timer can be added to this function? Meaning, if deckgun gets submerged, the crew cannot use it for X seconds, till hopefully another large wave covers it, continuing the cycle.

Anyone more knowledgeable willing to shed some light on if the above is possible, what files to look at, ect?

[EDIT] Oops looks like Sober already awnsered where and what to do, so lets work on a script! Im lookin at other scripts seeing if i can canibalize anything relevant.
