Default Deck gun

I know this sounds stupid, but I forgot how to elevate or lower the deck gun. I cant seem to figure it out.... It has been awhile since I have played this game and since SH5 is on the horizon, I figured to get back into the hunt... could someone please refresh my memory about the deck gun...

Thanks

Vort

gad...it is rather clunky too. You have to either use the arrow up/down keys or push your mouse up your desk and lift it back to start the process again.
Come to think of it, I think you can use the Shift key to modify the speed/sensitivity of the adjustment (or is it the Ctl key?).

Now I'll have to check....

TAB key zooms range, up down to set range, shift+up/down faster adjust.

Ctrl+up/down is for fine tuning as well.

UP / DOWN doesn't need fine adjustment IMHO. It needs a HURRY-THE-HELL-UP-ALREADY button!

DA to Crew: Crank the deck gun faster!

Crew to DA: We're going as fast as we can!

Watch Officer to DA: Don't worry about it sir...Deck Gun destroyed.
