Default Deck gun movement stuck

Hello all

im new to uboat sims completely, but i think this some game issue.
When i shoot manuall with the deck gun on other ships it happends all the time that i cannot move the gun anymore. Mostly up and down still works, but left or right doesn't.
Anyone else experienced such troubles yet with that deck gun ?

Thanks

Cheers

Lorien

Rough weather?

Because if you've got big waves washing over the deck, the deck gun crew will abandon their positions leaving you all alone, which means that elevation works fine, but traverse doesn't.

You'll know you've got heavy seas if you see the "underwater" icon at the top flashing intermittently.

The "workaround" is to keep manning the deck gun, but you really shouldn't be trying to use it in heavy seas. It's not made for that purpose and you'll waste a lot of ammo that way. Hard enough to aim a deck gun in calm weather from a moving deck, well nigh impossible if the deck heaves up and down all the time.

Ah lol yes that was indeed the case, damn british weather.

Never thought about it, that it needs at least 2 men to handle it.

thanks
