Has THIS happened to YOU?

Torvald Von Mansee · 09-03-09, 08:27 PM

There I was, somewhere west of Ireland. My deck watch spotted a single merchantman about five Km. off. Calm seas, so I thought: "Why waste a torpedo!! Man the deck gun!!!," comfortable in the knowledge that we could kill this ship before they could get the range on us (if they were armed). Lo and behold, my watch officer tells me "no ammo available"!!

I trust this is a bug? I'd just updgraded my sub, and I'm playing w/GWX 3.0.

you have to load the first round yourself. go to the DG and click on the shell on the right side. you will then have plenty of ammo

I am not so sure about this. When I man the DG and give permission to fire, either by marking it with the binoculars or on the gun menu, they start firing. Surely, with a delay on the first round, but they do fire without me going to the deck gun for a manual load.

When you are behind the canon you have to click on the
granade icon right under in the screen.

Correct, Leandros. I never had any problems either, the boys always load the first round after I tell them to engage a target, just takes a while that's all

Simply click on the shell icon (bottom right).

Same here. I never shoot the gun manually, and I've never had to go load it.

Agree with Steve for 100% here ...

A real Kaleun, would never sit behind a deck gun, that's why it is almost impossible to do it with OLC Gold MkII mod.

You have crew ... let they do the job done.

One consideration though....unless the gun crew are well trained and suitably qualified, they tend to waste approximately 40/50% of the available ammo.

I use my ammo mod for a reason

Yep, it was fully crewed.
