We started new career, in New Construction T_M_1.6,game patched to 1.3 .
We Tried to install Deck Gun Fwd.,Now we have equipment slots for Fwd.,& Aft guns,but no billet slots for crew on either gun. The Gun placement was moved Fwd.on the boat,but without crew to load,I can only fire the gun by myself,slow

Is there any way to get my crew billet slots back for the deck gun fwd :hmm:

There are threads on how to fix this problem in the main SH4 forum here.

Its a strang problem this I've had it too. I get round it by moving my DG as soon as I start a new career game it usually lets me then. Fleet boats had their DGs repositioned forward very early on anyway so I save myself the hassle by doing it then.

Another thing I do, and don't know if this has any bearing at all, is stop assigning extra crew to man the DG in the first place when in port. Instead I just draw them from the watch crew like SH3.
