AA gun trouble and medal trouble

[Scarto]

My fellow simmers,

Had nice patrol yesterday (6 merchants, 2 DD) which got me the VC and a new u-boat.
6 tubes front, 4 tubes back although i dont know the precise name. My AA gun is now surround by the iron of the cunning tower it is on. When planes come in at certain angles and heights i can aim my gun for them but then at a point I loose all visibility cause the iron fills up my screen. In other words my tower blocks my view.

How can I fix this?
My last boat (porpoise) didn't have this around the AA gun and i was pretty good at shooting planes down xD

One other question, why are the medals in the configuration file named Medal of honor, silver star, etc. While the medals i get are english medals (Submarine service, patrol star, victoria cross, wounded medal). I cant find these medals in any files so how come i dont have the american ones?

Thanks
