Deck guncrew just wont open fire!!!

[joho]

Intercepted a convoy outbound from Gibraltar on apr19-40. Managed to sink one war ship 10k+ in a sub attack. Later same night I closed in on the surface just behind the escorting corvette and launched 2x2 eels in 2 pyro ships hitting both. Made a 180 turn and watched the corvette searching in vain behind me. Circled around and nailed one from behind in bringing him to a complete stop. Went to periscope depth and waited an hour or so. Then surfaced to finish him of with the deck gun. Now the problems begins. I assign deck crew to the gun, put my gunner officer in charge and order the deckofficer to open fire at will. He confirms my order but does he submit the order to his guncrew - NO! I open the wepon controll window to assign ammo to the gun. Still silence, Im ordering fire on closest target, fire at will, get the confirmation but still silent. It is not untill I take charge of the gun my self and pull the *********g trigger personally things start to happen. Then I can hand over to my gunner and he continues to fire at the target.:hmm:
