No deck gun ammo!!!!

Checkmate King 2 · 12-03-07, 12:37 PM

During my last patrol (8), I had fired a fish or two into a merchant. I then proceeded to surface my boat. Since the weather was on the calm side (very, very rare in the 8 patrols so far), I decided to let my deck gun fire for the 1st time ever!! I ordered men on deck, selected fire a water line, short range, & finally fire at will. It didn't take long to figure out that something wasn't right. My deck gun wasn't firing!!! After repeating the orders again, still nothing. Then I realized that I had no deck gun shells!!!! How can I have no deck gun shells; It's the 1st time in 8 patrols that I have decent weather to permit my deck gun crew to be able to get on deck to be able to fire the deck gun and when they do, I have no shells!!!

Where did all of the shells go to?

Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Let me guess, u playing GWX?

Go to the Gunners position and click on the shell to load the first round.

You only have to do it for every patrol.

if there is an ammo shell stood up on screen - over on the right, click on it to activate. the loading line will proceed to fill. once filled, it's ready to fire.

if you are using sh3 commander - do you have sabotague/malfunctions enabled.

are your gunners trained up?

fill the green bar above them.

can't think of anything else,

hope this helps

Ahh!!!

I never knew you actually had to load it!!!!

Side Note: If I remember, both numbers on each side of the upright standing shell were zero!!

Good luck!

Anyway, as I play with SH3commander and malfunctions and sabotage on I'll make a full trial of all vital boat functions during every patrol as soon as I leave the dock.
This includes also a practise shot with all my guns.
I don't check the fire command of my torpedos, but that's the ONLY test I leave out. I even open and close the doors.
