Aircraft defense in an S Class

SUBMAN1 · 04-25-07, 01:38 PM

How do I get someone to man the 50 cals to shoot down some aircraft with an S-class? I have the quad 50's on the boat, but I can't use them - with either crew or to try manually!

A bug?

I wonder if its related to the bug I have, where I added a 4"/50 to the bow of my porpoise, and now there are no slots in the crew screen to let me man it.

I can still main it myself.

At least you can man yours. I can't even man the position, and it is rather annoying not being able to shoot back! I never tried leaving it at the default of only 2 (or was it 3?).

I have the same problem, save the game before you make any deck gun changes!

If this "undocumented feature" rears its head, just reload the save.

I have also found that mounting a deck gun behind the conning tower starts this bug, so try to leave the deck gun on the fore.
