I had the same problem. The fix was to use the binoculars to 'target' the enemy. Immediately someone manned the gun and started firing on the ship...it kinda gave me a jump as the speakers were turned up. Try that with the flak gun.

Haha... yea sure.. find and mark the aircraft in the binoculars.. that should be easy

same problem, can't get the crew to man the AA gun either, the officer calls "man AA gun" but no crew shows up... I can get crew man deck gun though

so I assume it's a bug

To find aircraft in the binoculars, use the mini-map. It will show your visual cone. Just line it up with the aircraft icon.

Airplanes never attack me, so I haven't worried about this, but yeah couldn't get anyone on the flak guns yet.

I hear the pilots are blind at the moment. They need some work.

I have had issues with buttons no longer working after a while. Like screenshot, remove interface..blah blah blah, even the command buttons...so who knows...

I have the issue of whenever pressing F8 for battlestations both the flak guns and deck gun get manned....underwater or not.

Interesting. SH4 was the same. "Man the flak gun!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!" "Yes sir!." No one shows. I find myself manning the thing unless I go to the screen where I can move my men around.
