139. Two crew deck-guns
One of the perennial problems with the deck-gun, especially on open lobbies, is the clueless or trolls, using the deck-gun without reference to the captain, alerting the convoy and possibly getting the u-boat sunk by return fire. It has been suggested that a lobby setting to disable deck-gun use might be a solution, however, as the circumstances where deck-gun use are hard to forecast, and rare, it seems to me that a better solution would be to require the deck-gun to be served by a minimum of two players, in order for it to work at all. This would render trolls/newbs from using it solo, but also to allow for it's use if circumstances permit.
