Flak Gun Question and Problem

The newer, bigger, conning towers- do they change your diving speed? I'm thinking of upgrading my IXB, but I won't do it if it slows my diving speed. The extra flak might be nice if I ever get caught in an area to shallow to crash dive (thinking Bay of Biscay in parts) or if I end up fighting a patrol boat on the surface (a quad 20mm should chew it up almost instantly!).

Also, I still can't get my light flak to work with my new quad 20. All I get is the inside animation of the dude in the quad 20, which makes it useless for aiming too. I have tried cycling different crew, including my two flak specialists and another NCO, with no luck. This bug has followed me through three cruises now, and it's getting to the point where I'm considering ditching the thing. No matter how much "allied aircrews respect it", it's useless if I can't use it! And no matter what I try, I can't switch to the primary flak station from the secondary (or 2nd?) flak station. Even without anyone manning the guns (e.g., when the watch crew is on deck). So it's a gun bug, not a crew bug.
