Uh oh... I just took posession of my first Type IX and traded in my trusty old VII. I've yet to try the flak gun emplacements (or any gun emplacements!) - and this doesn't bode well. If you have your Watch Officer on deck and you tell him to "fire at will", they won't do it? First off, someone needs to walk the plank. Next, maybe you have to manually man the other position?
Ya know, as I was just doing some house cleaning, my mind was
actually on SH3 of course, and I was thinking maybe I should do some drills with the guns (for MY OWN good!) and this settles it. I gotta get off the forum and out to sea.
