To manually take the deck gun, first you have to instruct your Watch Officer to "man the decks" to get your gun crew topside...then press "F10" to take control of the deck gun. If you don't man the decks...you cannot traverse and load...there's two other seamen helping you.

Evasion is the bread and butter of this game. Run very silent and run very deep...in a nutshell. Take your shots and get out of town immediately. I usually head in the direction of the convoy for a while and start tacking out - away from my victim.

Again...run in silent mode <3 knots (1-2 kts in GWX)...right to edge of your safe dive limit.

Well said... Keep in mind your hull integrity. The more damage you take, the sooner you will be crushed at depth. On a recent mission, I could not dive past 25 meters as my hull integrity was in single digits.. Dang B-24's

Good Luck..
