No fault. Heck, I thought the same thing until I decided to click on it.

I think everyone of us must have thought the same thing until he tried...

I thought it was a SH3Cmdr "malfunction & sabotage" stuff but I click on the shell by mistake and tadaaa ! the gun loads

Malfunction and sabotage LOL. Some jacknut forgot to load the ammo....BEEEERRRRRNNAAARRDDDD!

In GWX... you get HE ammo only for your deck gun. Deep research indicates that the only type of ammo carried by the U-boats for the DG was HE.

No starshells... No armor piercing.

Also, you need to double click the HE round icon to load the gun. In stock SH3 the deck gun starts out with a round in the chamber. This is not historically accurate so we fixed it.

Sorry if this sounds harsh... but we won't be backing up from it guys.

I agree on all points stated here! Everyone is valid. Besides, just what would a u-boat do with starshells anyway? Furthermore, I would be damned if I submerged with a load in the cannon.

Yep the 4 seconds os so it takes for the HE to load are to simulate your gun crew loading from scratch
As you rightly say AVG - no way I would be sailing around with one in the chamber

Good thing I saw this thread...I was about to post a similar topic.

The thing is, when using the DG for the 1st time, I noticed I only had HE-rounds.
I thought wtf, and guessed I had forgotten to "buy" starshells and AP's back home. Maybe GWX worked different when in base, compared to stock SH3 and other big mods?
So I concluded I had been stupid, but was forced to sail with only HE's for the current partol...no sweat really, as I had just sunk a C2 with it, after hitting it with one fish in the rudder/propulsion area, so they are sufficient nevertheless.

Btw, manning the gun yourself, and aiming for the waterline still works best!

I think the cannon strength is realistic now. I have seen footage of the real thing and the vessel sunk after about 10 rounds or so.

Shoot at the stars!! :rotfl:
