All my tests in campaign were done using the crew with the gunner's special abilities..

I ignore it, but probably Rongel can give us some detail

P.S: I've found this old post from a thread in SHIII Mods Workshop:

This is the 1 that I have been using for ages to DEACCURTISE the DG with. Ok to explain it better.

The Traverse and Elavaion Tolarance is used to gyro stabilise the Gun. This is done by giving the gun a SET Degree of MOVEMENT that you determine BEFORE the movement of the subs hull is imposed on the Gun. So therefor IF you have given the tolarance to the guns of say 10° this means that the gun has 10° of inderpendent movement BEFORE the subs movement effects the gun. Hence to DEACCURTISE the gun you REDUCE the movement. On the DG I have been using 0.75° for both Elevation and Traverse, for all other Flack Guns I have been using 0.5°. Now what happens is that the DG can only track the target for 0.75° of inderpendent movment before the subs heaving is imposed on the gun, BUT this is the good part, this will SLOW down the Fire rate as the AI will NOT fire the Gun untill its ON target. It also means that they have more accurate MISS shots to btw what I mean by that is that you will get over an unders as before but now closer to the taget. With this imposed I have redone all weps and shells to reflect true values on Range, Damage and refire rates. This is the reason I always said that Beery was wrong, You CAN fix the DG!

Now go at it an enjoy

PS: Ohh btw this will also effect the player when he uses the gun's, but for best results let the AI man the guns an shoot only, after all Captains didn't go running around a sub maning every thing them selves. You have a crew, let them do their job and you do yours.

In a nutshell, if what this guy is saying proves true, the effect of the two tolerance factors is just the opposite of what we supposed so far!

I think tomorrow another hard testing session is waiting for us
