[Help!]Where'd my deck gun go?

DrJonez · 05-11-08, 06:27 PM

So I've been playing a career lately, and I've gotten to September of 1942. I upgraded to a Salmon class submarine after my first 2 patrols, and everything seemed to work fine. After my first patrol in the new sub, I was fiddling around with some of the various upgrades and switched out what I thought was the deck gun for a different one. Now, in the F10 screen, there's no station listed for me to assign men to the deck gun, but the station is there, and I'm able to go to the gun, fire it, move it around, etc. The problem is that loading is horribly slow now because there aren't any men manning it, but I can't get them to man it no matter what I do :[

You can see the problem in these screenshots:

In the second shot, you can see I have guns installed. The twin 20mm AA gun functions fine, but again, I can't assign crew to the deck gun.

Another question: Is that actually listing the deck gun?? The twin 20mm gun listed there is obviously the AA gun, and I know it's there because I can switch to the station and use it. However, what's this 4 50 cal bow mounting stuff?? There isn't a quad 50 caliber mount on my sub, and swapping out the 3 50 cal gun that was there before for the 4 50 cal was what started this problem in the first place. What gun is this referring to? Am I missing 4 machine guns that I should have on my boat?

I'm running Silent Hunter 4, and I recently picked up the U-Boat Missions, so I'm running whichever version the expansion patches the game to (1.5 I think).

Help please!
