Just the addition of the dual-deck gun set-up and it "defaults" to the rear gun?... I've looked at the dual 5" 25 UpgradePack set-up, and it doesn't list "aft" or "bow" for either of the guns... again like a game "default" at work here... but it uses the M02 Position when it does that. The fore mounts are M01... Either way though, there is only one deck gun camera, and apparently, the game chooses for us, preferring the aft position, if available (the last one initialized??). Unless someone knows something more...
well...my fix did not work.

i've checked:
the 5-25 dotSIM file and the dotDAT file
the Weapons.Upc
the Upgradepack.Upc
the Equipment.Upc
UnitpartsGato.upc
Nss_Gato.upc, Sim, Dat, Cam, Eqp

there is no distinguishing feature differentiating the two weapons except for the names of Fore and Aft or Bow and Stern and one is designated as M01 and the other M02.

as near as i can tell, they are duplicated weapons except for their location on the boat.
