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?
A good friend of mine writted me this:
,,I just changed that setting (timedelay for bad weather) to 1 sec and my crew un-maned the gun with a big wave

Note: this will also switch of your radar ''

i did not tested yet but i supouse is working as he described
