Default Lamest thing I have seen yet

Tried using the AA guns on an early model Gato or Gar, turn the the guns to either side raise elevation and your view becomes blocked by the sides of the 'bathtub'.

Sheesh....

Same thing on my Tambor (SS-200 Thresher - mispelled Tresher in the game), which makes my AA Guns pretty much useless...

Lamest thing I have seen was a dead, frozen duck. Darn thing didn't move AT ALL.

Don't worry. Near the end of the war, the AA guns were modified to include an adjustable seat so you could slide it forward and not run into the bathtub when you rotated. Seriously, I'm sure alot of the bugs will be ironed out very soon via patch or mod.

If you do really well on a mission they will reward you with a cut away gun mount for the 20mm. All it has is a rail around it.

same thing happened to me. I guess you have to go outside the enclosed AA area and reach over the railing to fire at high elevated aircraft.
just spray and pray

You can always try shooting them down with the deck gun.:rotfl:

I had the same troubles, I thought it was hilarious how the devs didn't see it.
