Gato Deck Gun does not turn

Mikemike47 · 01-15-11, 03:20 PM

I haven't played with a Gato boat in months to year(s). I have a full crew in the deck gun slots, deck gun is enabled, and the shells are loaded. I can not pivot the gun. The gun fires through the front of the sub and the shell hits the water. Presently, I disabled all mods. SH4 is patched to 1.5 U-boat missions. I am at Perth-Fremantle base around late September 1942. Never seen this problem with game before. I am wondering if I have some file left over from mod soup. Still no Gato deck gun pivot.

No matter what mod or mod version or plain vanilla game I played in the past, I have always been able to pivot the deck gun with past subs. Not this time!

Any ideas of what file I am missing or wrong before having to reinstall the entire game? Present file overwrote an important one? I have U-boat missions complete install on a DVD so I have the original file data still.

There is no mod soup error descriptions found in my MOD folders, !Backup or !Instlogs folders.

Adding TMO_Aft_deckguns in port did not solve the problem for next mission after realizing in previous mission that deck gun did not turn.

P.S.

Thanks for your time reading this and for any future help.
