Forward 40 traverse

Sniper297 · 12-01-14, 11:12 PM

Late war conning tower the single mount 40mm BOFORS on the forward platform looks like it should be able to traverse at least 180 degrees if not more. But when manually operated I can't move it more than 30 degrees left or right. Got a damaged merchant ship at 045 or 315 I SHOULD be able to shoot with the forward 40, but it won't swing far enough. I can actually hit the same ship with the aft 40, swinging it all the way around 135 degrees, in fact there don't seem to be any restrictions on the aft 40 field of fire. Anyone know which file or files controls the restriction of the forward 40?
