No Ammo For Deck Gun

selk1 · 10-04-08, 12:37 AM

I have had two missions where my deck gun is showing no ammo as I leave my
base. I have tried to change deck guns but with no change. Any ideas on how to correct?

Are you running any mods? Some change the ammo loadout so that there is no ammo of one particular type. I can't remember if it's HE or AP that is removed, but it's the default one and the result is that there is no ammo loaded when you click on the gun. If it is that problem, all you have to do is to click on one of the other shells on the deck gun screem to load that type. If it's not that, then I have no idea.

If you're running Real Fleet Boat or some other mods they might require you to select the ammo before you can fire the gun.

Thanks for your response. I double click on the shells and it started loading right away

When you man a deck gun or anti-aircraft gun for the first time on a patrol, you must click the shell icon in order for the gun to load. Do NOT, repeat, do NOT post messages to the effect of "my gun is out of ammo!" here on the forum. You will be referred to this thread instead.

It tripped me up at first but was able to figure it out.
