To change the speed of the guns rotation you will need a program like Mini Tweeker or something like it. You can get 'Mini Tweeker' on my filefront page.

You would then use the GUNS_SUB_sim.txt file for the any of your boats guns. The 1st gun listed in the file is '88mm_UDeck_Gun_High_Body (105)' an it is actually the 105 mm gun. The last gun listed is the '88mm_UDeck_Gun_High_Body' and it is the 88 mm gun. In between them are all of the Flak guns. The value that you want to play with is 'speedTraverse'. The slower the number the slower the rotational speed.

If you are into using the deck guns in auto, you might also want to drop the 'range' parameter down to a more reasonable 5000 so that the crew does not expend ammo trying to hit a ship that is clearly out of range for such a small gun on a rolling deck.

I've never seen a 'speedTravese' setting for the either of the periscopes in any .SIM file.

By the way, when I want to play with the deck gun in manual, I drop the speed of my mouse down to 400 while targeting instead of modifying the .SIM file. But then I have a mouse with three buttons to change the 'pixels per inch' setting so that I can do just that. Using the 'ctrl' key has always been slow enough for me with the periscopes when I am zoomed in.
