Historically around 43 they were removed as not much use any more
Some kept them but not many |

Mohr, I figured you would say that! Where have you been, we've missed you.

Keep the deck gun. It's invaluable. The most distressing part of the XXI (aside from the broken features) is the lack of a deck gun.

From what I understand posted by experienced modders and players alike, that is not something the game engine can do.

As im currently just starting in 41 with a type IX/C, i'll never remove my deck gun. But once you start getting armed merchants, its pointless trying to out shoot them as your likely to come out worse off.
(I know, as i tried to to take on a Liberty ship with my deck gun - not a good result for me  )

I have to wonder about the game engine's modeling of gun crew behavior on merchant ships.
I'd like to know if those guns were manned at all times when underway. If not, i think it would take a minimum of 2 minutes, and often up to 5 minutes to actually get one into action. I never fought in WW2 but i was a crewman on a ship that served in ww2. As an example, it took us at least 8 minutes to get a .50 cal manned, mounted, loaded & into action from the word "go". Of course we had to drag it topside from the Gunnersmates locker but that took only 3-4 minutes. As an experienced sailor it just feels like things all around happen too quickly in this game. In heavy seas things are 2 or even 3 times slower than in calm seas, depending on the evolution. I could be wrong, but it seems that a u-boat crew that is prepared could easily surface, man the deck gun, and get several rounds off before an unprepared merchant crew could get lead headed the other way. If the guns were permanently manned & ready I'll concede it couldn't be done. |
