Help, Suggestion or request for AA gunes.

Ok I have read several real accounts and have several photos showing the watch crew on deck as well as the AA/deck gun crews. As of now we all know this can not be done in SH3 (when you man guns the watch crew does it).
Can someone either tell me how to change this or maybe one of you super smart mod masters can make a small mod to allow everyone on deck. Maybe add 8-10 seconds to the dive time with all stations manned??

i think that sh3 does not allow crowded decks because of animation problems, and wanting the game to play on low end platforms. likely in the pictures you have this was the S.O.P., watch crew was in place. Plane sighted headed their way. Watch crew dives for the hatch and only the gunner and one spotter remained topside. For sh3 to have shown this it would have to have animated all this, or just show the watch crew vanish like it now does when diving. i think they just chose to short cut this and keep the watch crew below. Sh3 really wasn't trying to render every true aspect of u-boat life, or we would have had louse inspections and food store considerations. What i want to have are my crew on deck at attention once in home dock, and a German flag fluttering from the stern of my sub.

But let me say that i agree with your view and personally i would like SH4 to allow user-idiotic-behavior, so that if a captain wants to send his entire crew topside in a storm, he can. i just want there to be consequences, like say 75% of the crew being washed over board, or shot up by incoming planes when they are near.

along with this i think that if a captain makes to many idiotic mistakes his second in command should then relieve him of his command and have him put into irons.
