Forward 40 traverse

I think you can adjust that in the *.sim file.

Data\Submarine\Your sub class\Your sub class.sim

Nope. Found it though, it's in Objects\Conning_SalmonSargo_03.sim (or whatever the class and version). First obj_turret is 0 min 360 max, so the aft gun can be trained to fire forward through the bridge (OH THE HUMANITY!

). Second one is the forward gun, min 300 max 60 so restricted to 30 degrees forward of either beam. Doesn't seem like it though, it feels more like 45 degrees at most.

Anyway changing the numbers;

Traverse
min=225
max=135

That allows an arc of 270 degrees with only 45 degrees either side of dead aft blocked, and is more in synch with the visual model. I use the 40 to finish off or sink smaller merchants and sampans, always wondered why I had to shift to the aft 40 before the target passed abeam.

Remind me to stop at ordinance and make them lubbers walk the plank.

Please do. Nothing is worse to the working Navy than a sailor who has never been to sea.
