That would be a test to try, is a non-threatening enemy ship, such as an un-armed tug anchored nearby to the player sub, and then an airplane come by a minute later, and see what you can and cannot do. Of course, standing orders out of CenPac state that you should NOT be caught unawares by any airplane under any circumstances...  |
Player can still man and control the AA guns when they are set as deck guns, i.e. for AI to fire at surface targets, I have used them with the mod enabled. However, can no longer use them at will. Basically, the guns have to be "active", i.e. the DECK GUN ordered manned by crew and fire command given, as long as the guns are manned or at GQ, player can fire the guns. However, once station is not manned, player can go to gun view but can not fire, if hit fire it will give a message saying position is not active.
I'd love to make them truly multip purposes as were, so target aircraft and surface targets, but I do not see a way to make that happen. Silly though, since the enemy AI ships AA guns fire at ships and planes.
