Same here, I usually use it to rake targets in between deck gun volleys. (the bigger guns are really nice

) If only the effects of suppressing fire were modeled...

If they shoot at you is your fire suppressed?

Fair is fair.

Both gun and flak qualifications tend to compliment each other but I have one of each to a) be sure and b) have an alternative should one become injured or killed.

Or transferred out from under me just before the patrol starts.

My WO and WE are both Line Officers. They wear a star on their sleeves, (just like their C.O.), and nothing more.

The CE is an Engineering Officer. He gets the engine or repair qual, and nothing more.

The NAV is a Chief Quartermaster. He gets the helm, and nothing more.

My gunner and flak gunner both get promoted to second class, and the green bar is full.
