The option in TDW exe generic patcher disables an option to manually select target with binos and fire with deck gun on selected target. Instead of that deck gunners fire on the nearest target only and proceed to next only when the first one is destroyed.

I disabled the deck gun crew fireing automatically when target is designated for attack with deck gun patch and the gun works as it should.Don't exactly know what this patch is supposed to do but i think it somehow brokes the deck gun.

Just to inform you and the others who may have the same problem.

Hi Oby

There are 2 patches In Tdw’s Generic File Patcher that affect the Deck Gun operating.


Patch 1 > No yellow triangle designation on unit when designated for attack with Deck Gun.

Description > Removes the yellow triangle present on the unit when designated for attack by crew with Deck Gun.

Patch 2 > Stops automatic firing of Deck Gun by crew when target designated for attack with Deck Gun.

Description > When player designates a target for attack with Deck Gun this prevents the automatic firing of the Deck gun by the crew until the player is ready to fire.


See also my 2 Deck Gun tutorials on Post #10 and Post #11 which also may explain a few things.

These tutorials will explain how either by selecting the officer on the bridge or by selection different icons from the Watch Officer affects how your Deck Gun works.
