Hey mobucks,
Yeah, I'm looking at those same controls. They are basically the same ones from SH3, and yes, you can order close range or far range targets, Fire at will and so forth.
But, like I mentioned, on my last patrol (and this was just with the deck gun), I wasn't on the bridge when I ordered the deck gun crew to action. So I used those same buttons to order the deck gun to fire at will. Nothing happened. Till I got to the bridge, then before the tanker could spot us I used the Binocs and then the deck gun started to fire. I dunno', maybe I did something wrong, I'm sure I ordered the crew to stations but maybe I just thought I did. I'm also sure I was using the right controls.
Now, I have two flak guns. I want to make sure that these two guns are firing at separate targets, so I expected to see more controls or verbal orders when I upgraded, but all I see is orders/controls for flak gun. Sounds singular. I am going to try to load up my current boat in a practice mission and see how they perform. Maybe that'll do the trick.
Cheers
