SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Flack guns on the rear deck are pretty useless

In WoS, with my new campaign in the East Coast of England I notice that my rear deck mounted flak gun is mostly useless, with high waves the gunman will not stay on station and so not defend from planes.

I wish I had bridge-mounted flaks for my Type VIIC. Is there a way to get these at campaign start? When starting with the VIIB you can install them immediately but not so for the VIIC. Also is this History-based maybe?

And about high waves: My sub can go at 13 knots full speed (not flank speed) with winds at 15m/s and waves that submerge the entire bridge... Believing historical docs, your sub should go at 5-6 knots at most with such weather

Thanks,
XS
