Man the Flak Gun !!!... errr... please?

SteamWake · 03-05-10, 01:03 PM

Last night I was out on my 'first' patrol cruising off the coast of GB and an aircraft is spotted closing fast.

Now normally I used to soil my britches and scratch for deep water anytime an aircraft even go remotely close but this is a new game and the aircraft seem to be rather begnine. So I figure what the heck lets try to shoot one.

I tell my WO to man the AA gun. He dutifully shouts out "MAN THE FLAK GUN" and nods.

Well guess what... no one mans the flak guns... what am I missing? It works for the deck gun.

Same here, I wasn't able to get anyone on the AA gun either. I also can't seem to get the deck gun guys to leave the deck gun.

Talk to your WO

WO? Watch Officer or Weapons Officer? I talked to the same guy who I told to man the deck gun, but I didn't get an option to unman the deck gun, and manning the deck gun again did nothing for me

It doesn't make sense to go see someone else to unman the deck gun, but then again there are quite a few things that don't make sense in SH5....I'll give it a try....

Well maybe so but for me I go to the same guy whatever his positon is and the option has changed from "Man Deck Gun" to "Leave Deck Gun" or something of that sort. Look again

Must be a bug. It stays at Man the Deck Gun for me.

F6 doesn't help either....
