Idiot flak gunners don't shoot?

U806, Type IXC, 1600kms West of Lorient. April 1942.

I just got divebombed by a Sunderland, and my stupid flak gunners never fired a shot!!!

I spent all this renown before leaving port to give myself two twin 20mm flak guns and a flicking huge 37mm cannon. I was running on the surface one evening, trying to charge my batteries, and I had the flak guns manned, in expectation. Sure enough, flugzeug gesichte, and a Sunderland dove down on me. I ran up to the bridge to watch the fireworks, only to be greeted by a thundering burst of apathy on the part of my useless gunners. They were told fire at will, target all, and once I desperately climbed into the 37mm, I was the only one doing any firing. Pow..................pow......................pow.

What the hell was the problem?
