It's just like you said...Everything work OK (AI and player can use the gun normally) until I walk with my avatar exactly to the right side of wintergarden platform?! Then camera freezes...Shift+U command can help in this situation though...Really strange indeed...

It's interesting, if you stay on the left side of the wintergarden platform, double 37mm flak will work just as any other flak in the game...

Really? I must have always walked to the right side of the gun then

It must have something to do with that gun's topology then. Your report helps a lot. Thank you for testing!

PS: can you man the gun if you walk to it from the correct side?

Yes, absolutely...You can man it from all sides except mentioned wintergarden's right side...Note that this was tested on the U-flak sub...I'll check it out later what is going on with VIIC41 for example...

I don't remember which U-boat/turm I tested that gun on, I don't think it will make any difference except maybe for space around the gun itself and ease of access to it...

EDIT

Small illustration...


Form this possition, all is working fine, manning the gun/leaving the station ect ...




...but walk just a little bit more further and the game freezes ...

I have had yet another look into that Flak's model, but apparently there is nothing, not even an hidden mesh, which might come into the way of player's avatar

YESSS, I know what's going with that gun at last! It isn't a problem of a mesh coming in player's way; it is a bone. More specifically the bone named Dmy_37mmTSA_Cam. As the name says it should be camera-related. I need to study some other guns before I can say what is its function, and the best soluce to the problem

Another small update which I forgot to tell you...
When game freezes, it will do so no mater how the gun is orientated, for example, if you walk to mentioned position while crew is aiming flak...

Anything yet?
