Default Shoot your deck gun

Here is a tips for you who are having problems making the crew automatically shoot your deck gun.

There is a Binocular function which you can enter when standing on deck by turning your middle mouse wheel like you are zooming.

After entering the Binocular function, just point at an enemy target and press Space for target lock. The crew on your deck gun will automatically start shooting at that target.

Cheers

the only problem is theyre not as reliable. the benifit is that if you find yourself In trouble you can dive faster because you could already be inside the hatch. i personally shoot my deck gun, and im proud of it.

This is the same method for targeting the flak guns.

well not really, as i cant get my binoculars to lock onto a plane, much less have my crew fire. and using the aa gun is Really challenging, it seems harder to hit aircraft in this one then in SH4.

"Shoot your deck gun"

Ay Ay Sir.

Killed 2 destroyers by using my deck gun, one aircraft just passed by me as you can see on the minimap. I sunk a task force outside of gibraltar (1 aircraft carrier, 1 battleship and 3 destroyers sunk) with torpedos. Next, I enter gibraltar and another task force is chasing me. I had to kill two destroyers with my deck gun.

Clearly, the game is not well balanced or it may be that i'm too good with my deck gun
