How can I.....?

Ok, so i've just got my Gato geared up with the latest in Radar sets and deck gun armaments. Both Bow & Stern mounted guns.

However, the bow gun is not showing up under the crew management screen, only the stern is showing up, which technically means I can only man the stern gun.

Have I wasted renown on mounting a bow gun too, only to find that now I cannot use it???

EDIT: I am aware that I can man the bow gun and use it, but without crew manning it, reloading times for the shells are painfully slow.

To my knowledge only the Narwhal has 2 deck guns,and it looks like a Gato-class in SH4..

That's probably right for the game, Kloef, but the later US subs had hardpoints for a big gun fore and aft, it was up to the skipper where the gun went. A couple of high-prestige skippers got two guns late war.

Cant remember where I read this, probably just regurgitating from these forums!

ddiplock: you've been suckered.

I haven't load TM0 1.8 beta yet, but I think he added both guns or used an extra slot to add another 40.
