Yes if you ask the crew to do it for you you never realise the issue with the need to load the shells. You will experience it only if you man the gun yourself

Huh, I must've gotten the wrong idea entirely about the auto-load issue. Maybe I was always wanting to man the gun myself when I first started using it.

Will have to try just ordering the crew to open fire next time and see what happens.

I always man the gun myself. I am a far better shot than even my best-trained gun crews.

The gun is loaded automatically provided the gun is manned prior to selecting the target.
