Arming U-boat?

mj3437 · 02-24-13, 03:00 AM

Do you have to arm the boat before leaving on new mission? I just left Wilhelmshaven a couple days ago to patrol grid AN13 and came across a lone British merchant. My single torpedo badly damaged but did not sink it. I surfaced intending to finish him with my deck gun, but find out I have no ammo for it.

Do you have to specify what you want loaded on your boat or did the shore crew forget?
Thanks,
MJ

GWX or vanilla? It's never happened to me so this first time just assume you have a useless shore crew but if it happens again then it's a bug.

The ammo is loaded automatically in port, but the deck gun itself is not loaded initially. Click the picture of the shell while in deck gun view and it starts loading.

Deckgun

Vanilla - it is loaded already.
GWX - you have to load it first by clicking on the shell like sublynx said.

Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner, it was late when I finally tore myself away last night. I am running GWX and indeed I had to click the shell to load the gun. Thanks everyone and I'm sure you will hear from me again
