Deck Gun..

June 8th 1940

Attacked an armed tugboat and a small merchant yesterday after chasing them through a wicked storm. The weather suddenly turned calm and when i saw how small my contacts were I quickly surfaced and blew off some steam by unleashing High Explosive shells on the both of them. My problem stems from the fact that once i made the initial decision to use the HE shells, i was then unable to switch to armour piercing ones, despite having a full complement of both. this has happened to me before and i know i must be overlooking something simple, so your help would be much appreciated..

I tried removing the gun crew from the deck and replacing them, double-clicking on the desired shells...nothing works.

Thank you for the explanation.
So i'm still a moron, just for a different reason.

Congratahoochies, I've ran into that bloody tugboat. It killed two of my guys and caused 56 percent damage before I managed to submerge. Then it kept tossing DCs. Nasty tug

If your using GWX you should only have the HE shell icon for the dck gun
Unless you have changed something :hmm:

The one thing confusing me was when you stated that you had a 'full complement of both' :hmm:

From the shells.zon file for GWX (EF is essentially damage):
MinEF for 88 is 8, for 105 is 9
MaxEF for 88 is 25, for 105 is 30
MinRadius for 88 is 1.25, for 105 is 1.75
MaxRadius for 88 is 3.5, for 105 is 3.5
