NB: The deck gun is not automatically loaded with ammunition. Stock Silent Hunter III has hardcoded the deck gun crew to load armor piercing (AP) ammunition; however, GWX has eliminated all armor-piercing and star shell ammunition since U-boats did not carry these ammunition types historically. You (the player) therefore must tell the deck gun crew what kind to use since there is no AP ammunition. You have two options to load the deck gun.
1. Order the watch officer to operate the gun, and then use the watch officer icon to order the deck gun to open fire.
2. Left click on the ―High Explosive Shell‖ whenever you are in the deck gun view, as shown in Figure 50, and your gun will be loaded at all times for the rest of your mission or patrol unless you run out of ammunition.
