AA gun view blocked by shield

In no way would this happen on a real submarine as the gunners view point would be inside the tub where in the video game the point of view is at the edge of the tub.

I am sorry I did not make that more clear in my post.

Oh, so your Camera view is tucked up against the fairings where you cant see at all? Hmm, Maybe fiddle with different resolution sizes and such.

Yea, this is an issue of the camera view being behind the tub and blocking your vision, no way would they have ment it to be this way. Its a bug.

Exactly! its like your body (when goin in 360 to aim at planes) goes through a side of the "tub" and your vision is 50% blocked.. extremely annoyin when u r under constent attack by air.

ITS NOT A BUG !


I had it on mine up until about Nov 42, I came back from a mission and got a screen, sub being refitted, the "bathtub" round the aft AA gun was being taken away to reduce the subs profile.

its not a bug.

If its not a bug, how come the crew can fire to all sides, but you cant?

So the sub design may have changed a bit, that doesn't make this not a bug. In NO game should this be the way a limit should be put on a weapon, its sloppy work. They could have easily made the gun lock and not spin after a certain point, and on top of that, if you were actually in the real position of the AA gun, the bathtub would not be an issue.

Its a graphical bug.

Is a bug regarding the camera. Whats bieng said is not the wall infront of the gun cutting out the view, which is fine. But the camera behind you blocking the view in a clipping like fashion. Very common bug in MANY games.

Just so we're clear on what we're talking about...

I made a video and am uploading it right now.

It's not a bug, per se.

It's bad design.

Yes, the tub is supposed to be there. And yes, updated conning towers provide a cutaway. Those aren't issues.

The issue the that as the camera pans, it pans outside of the tub during certain angles, causing you to have a lovely view of the tub wall and not the gunsights. What should happen is the camera should either be moved in closer to the rotational axis or the tub wall should be made transparent during AA gun use. In real life, if you're using the gun, your body is not going to pass through the metal tub wall. The camera view ingame does. Bad design, not bug. The camera works as designed.... and that's the problem

Pull the camera about 6 inches in to the center of the station and it won't be an issue.
