Problem with Deck Gun

dc1962 · 10-17-07, 11:57 AM

Hello,

I've got problems with my deck gun: First it takes nearly 2 minutes to reload each shell; Second, when I issue the command to man the deck gun, no one goes to the stations! The gun will not fire unless I actually go down and aim and fire it, but at 2 minutes for each reload, it takes too long.

I seem to recall a post on this but could not find it--any advice would be apprecated

Thanks

You have to drag your to best gunners into the deck gun spots IIRC.

for faster reloads.

Ah the good old rate of fire debate. :hmm:

First as has been suggested drag your best gunner qualified sailors into the gun slots. It also helps to have a ranking officer with gunnery training on the bridge.

Secondly have you added any mods ? Some of them alter the rate of fire of the deck gun to a 'realistic' level. If you dont like the rate of fire you will have to fix this yourself. Ill let the mod folks explain that because frankly Im clueless when it comes to that sort of thing.

Thanks I'll drag them there--I do have have one of the major mods loaded--I'll check. Just a bit annoying that my rate is so slow.

I most always fire the gun myself. The AI gunners just waste too many shells....
