DD Akizuki's 3.9in main guns not shooting at planes.

I think the reason the 3.9 inch guns are not shooting at planes is that in the game, guns are either AA or main armament. That is, the AA will shoot at aircraft, and the main arm. at surface targets. There is no such thing as "dual purpose". Same with our subs; the crew will not fire the 3in./4in./5in. at aircraft because they are deck guns, not AA.

I doubt that the Devs had too much time to devote to surface battles.

I swithched the 3.9in_Double_base_Jp from CANNON to AA in S3D. It still would NOT fire at planes. The 5in_Double_base_Jp is also listed as a CANNON and it shoots at planes. When I put 5in's on the Akizuki in place of the 3.9's, they fired at planes. I placed the 3.9's on an Asashio and still no shooting at planes. I'm still playing with the various numbers in S3D, hopefully something will work...

UPDATE: Got it!!! There is another guns_radar.sim in the ShipParts folder also. Follow my steps above and when you see AMMO STORAGE, click on it. Under AA, it's 0. change it to whatever number you want (I put 500), save the changes and the 3.9's now shoot at planes. There is a GUNS_RADAR in the LIBRARY folder and a GUNS_RADAR listed in the SHIPPARTS folder also. It appears the one in the ShipParts folder is the ones you want to change, if not, then you'll have to change them both.
