SH3Cmdr R2.4 allows you to totally remove the deck gun - click on the u-boat type link, select "Remove" then "Deck gun". If you change your mind, you can re-add it via the game - it's free!

Anyway, the feature was oft requested by the "realistic" players amongst us that simply wanted the ability to remove the deck gun like the real Captains could. I took mine off during mid-42 when every ship I saw on the surface fired back at me!

I don't see a problem with any mod "taking it away" by default from 1942 - it can always be manually selected by the Captain for free. To remove it from the default subtype, you need to set the M01_x values in Basic.cfg to -1. Not hard really. This won't work with existing careers though - you need to change the M01 value in the career "Careers_0.cfg" file.

However, SH3Cmdr is the easiest way for making this happen.
