The Darker Nights mod for Dark Waters really makes game play better, you can close in on convoys a lot better. And the Fog is just wonderful. Half the time they can't see you till they are erupting in flames. I like how the fog thickens and thins which can get you into trouble.

Wild suggestion you could try.
Open Deck_Gun_GE105mm.cam in the Library\GerSubParts folder.
EditObjPos

Set UseInitialLocalPos to false.

Other then that I suspect the KeyFrame Animations control position of the Guns when you switch back and forth.

You could do a cheat and change the timing for the Guns movements.

this suggestion interests me.
hypothetically speaking, where would i change the time of a guns movement?

are you referring to the wpn_cannon values in the DeckGun.sim file?
or something else?

Me too. In real life the range wouldn't change every time to zero or whatever it changes to when someone at the uzo yelled out the range. So it wouldn't really even be cheating.

If you open Deck_Gun_GE105mm.dat you'll see 2 AnimationObject Controllers.
One controls horizontal movement the other controls vertical movement.

Change the timing or remove them completely and test.
