Disappearing Deck Gun Crew

During combat in bad weather my deck gun crew keeps disappearing every few seconds. Im pretty sure its down to waves washing over the deck, or the bow tipping and making the game think the boat is diving, but its driving me mad, its gotten so bad i dont have enough time between telling them to mount and getting my target lined up, that i dont have time to make the shot before they disappear again. Any one seen this before or know how to fix it?

First: Bonjour !

After,for your request ,i can say it's possible,but we try to make is realistic and in bad weather the deck gun was unavailable ... (This is ditto to try to shoot a fly with a gun ,sit on a furious bull...)

Thanks for the reply. took a little translating,
Im all for realism, however i wouldnt have thought during war, two boats would sit staring at each other going, "the weathers too bad to try and shoot at them!"
Im also not going to waste a torpedo on a lone ship that cant fight back, its much better for me to use my deck gun, so is there a way around the crew disappearing?

We do what we can, but not what we want !
french proverbe : we are not oxen,we do not hunt flies with the tail

and a small "Hi" or "Hello" hat never killed anyone

and for the translating, try too to write correctly Eg: Im ! Me,i am french,but i try to do my best !

Would a motivated golf player try to finish a round in the middle of an hurricane?
Probably yes, if both the player and the hurricane were virtual.

If you want, you can try this mod by sober, but it is not very realistic though. Take it as a cheat and don't tell us again that "you are all for realism". Cheating in videogames is not a crime anyway

Sorry sober,

my comment wasn't meant to deprecate your mod but, unless I completely misunderstood it, isn't it making possible the manning of the deckgun during stormy weather? Is this realistic?
