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).

He is offline now, but I assume (he is at subsim since 2006), that he would know how to load the deck gun?

Well GWX3.0 wasn't available in 2006 and judging by the hundreds or even thousands of queries I've responded too there might be the possibility he was unaware of the empty icon shell feature.

Of course that's simply me assuming if he did, he may never have felt the need to post in the first place.

Maybe he use SH3 Commander with malfunctions and sabotage

Even I know (and me dummy), how to load the shells.

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

Nope.....the mod allows for 250 shells and records show at least one boat carried 377

OKAY, I give up

But I rather spent more shells then sitting (as a Kaleun) behind the deck gun.
